Local real estate nonprofit Historic Boston Inc. will receive $200,000 to turn the historic Alvah Kittredge House in Roxbury into market and affordable homes.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority board approved the funding yesterday.
Kittredge, a furniture maker, built the Greek revival-style house at 10 Linwood St. in 1836. The 6,400-square-foot home will be transformed into five units of housing.
"The restoration of the Alvah Kittredge House is a wonderful testament that will bring even more energy to this part of Roxbury," Mayor Thomas M. Menino said in a statement.
Historic Boston said the funding helps significantly to close a financing gap in the $4.7 million project, the cost of which has grown considerably greater because of more structural decay than had been previously discovered.
The nonprofit added it still needs to raise several hundred thousand dollars to complete the Kittredge project, yet has recently launched The Trilogy Fund, a campaign to close the financing gap for three of its current projects, including Kittredge.
