Spruce Street Commons serves as a collaborative space to share our varied and collective interests. We believe in architectural preservation, great design, and environmental sustainability.

Our goal is to bring our community together through an eclectic mix of events and happenings –all centered around inspiring local creatives and small businesses. Our small, dynamic, dedicated team is from diverse backgrounds.

Since this was taken in the late 70's great effort has been dedicated to the restoration of the historic Touraine and Annex. While original architectural details were preserved, interior systems were replaced with more sustainable options improving efficiency and reducing waste. #thetouraineturns100

The Annex brownstones have served many over their 152 years. In more recent times they were converted into offices with heavy glass-block windows before being preserved and restored by Spruce Street Real Estate Co. in 2014. They are now part of the Spruce Street Commons family and home to our residents.
