Is it time for Neighborhood House, Madison?s oldest neighborhood center, to cash in on its valuable property and build a better community center somewhere else?
….Neighborhood House was founded in 1916 in the storied melting pot of Greenbush as part of the settlement house movement of the early 20th century that helped immigrants acclimate to America. In the decades since, the center adapted to changing needs but has struggled in recent years after urban renewal sparked a mass migration of families from much of the neighborhood and UW-Madison students replaced many others.
