Tuesday the Moline Community Development Corporation held an open house at the rehabbed home at 5124 6th Avenue.
Executive Director, Jinnel Choinere says rehabilitating houses like this one gets them back on the tax rolls and brings other benefits to the community.
"And when those properties are abandoned or not taken care of, it can have a negative impact on the local community - makes the neighborhood not look quite as nice, maybe people don't feel quite as safe around an abandoned property."
She says the contractor, Southern Cross Properties, kept the historic character of the home's exterior, but modernized its interior.
Since its founding in 2008, the Community Development Corporation has partnered with the city of Moline to fix up more than 10 properties that had fallen into disrepair and added to the housing shortage in the Quad Cities.
