CELEBRATING THE NEW LITTLE HOUSE
After many years, our beloved Little House has a fresher, brighter look!
It’s hard to believe that back in 2009, the Little House was approved for demolition due to its deteriorating condition. But our community came together and thanks to a successful neighborhood fundraising campaign led by then–co-presidents the Little House re-opened in 2013.
NOW IT IS AGAIN RENEWED, REVIVED, and READY TO CONTINUE
THE PURPOSE IT'S HAD SINCE THE 1950s OF A
GATHERING PLACE FOR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS.
Now, a decade later, the Little House has been refreshed once again—this time through the efforts of our current board, spearheaded by Mark Cheng.
In the summer of 2025, the Little House got:
✨ A brand-new roof
✨ New luxury vinyl plank flooring
✨ Dimmable lighting
✨ Freshly painted doors
✨ And top-notch sound-absorbing wall ceiling panels
As proud custodians of this community treasure, we ask that everyone help preserve it:
Nothing may be taped or pinned onto the new ceiling panels.
Only painter’s tape (blue) may be used on the walls and between panels.
Only painter’s tape (blue) may be used on the walls and between panels.
And if you haven’t yet paid your annual $50 WCA dues, we encourage you to do so.
It’s a small contribution that keeps our “hidden gem” thriving.
Come take a look—or better yet, host your next celebration at the Little House!
See how the space can be transformed (yes, even with painter’s tape!) in the photos below.
