The public benefit mostly comes from the exterior though. The primary goal is to restore the integrity of some old streetscapes that are now "missing teeth".

Some people want modern interiors and are pretty happy with a shell. It's common around here for old houses to be rebuilt in that way. Lots of fully gutted Craftsman type homes around here.
