“Kittay House — 1969”
State housing records date Kittay House to 1969; it opened around 1970 and still houses seniors today.
A quiet but durable social-infrastructure story: the building Joseph helped construct still serves essentially the same population more than fifty years later.
What Kelly did here
Family source
Strong
Substantial exterior brick masonry on the original 1969–70 Kittay House senior-housing building, plus likely interior CMU/block shafts, stairs, service and fire-separation walls.
This scope is recorded as strong, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
The construction team
The construction team for this job has not yet been established.
