"We'd love to get our hands on that house," she said, about a half-dozen times, shaking her head at boarded-up or dilapidated buildings. If a house is neglected, or even on its last legs ("No house lasts forever," said Wilson), it is a target of hope for Wilson and her 15 co-workers at the nonprofit Fairfax Renaissance Development Corp., or FRDC. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cleveland.com/living/index.ssf/2008/10/_full_house.html"><P>Wilson, real estate coordinator at FRDC, and Jay Gardner, community development director at the organization, recently conducted a tour of the agency's two most recent projects: a Victorian on East 97th Street and a Craftsman-style house on East 87th Street. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cleveland.com/living/index.ssf/2008/10/_full_house.html"><P>Both nearly century-old houses were sad, with rotted wood and logic-defying additions and floor-plan alterations. Neglect was evident from the sidewalk all the way through to the homes' rotting interiors.
