Since 2007, Raccuglia's Funeral Home on the corner of Sackett and Court Street, has been hidden behind scaffolding, but in all the years since, no work ever seemed to take place on the building.  Local residents often wondered what was going on and why the scaffolding seemed to have become a permanent fixture.
Then, finally, in October 2011, workers started chipping off the 1960's style stone face, exposing the original brick.  Unfortunately, much of the façade was in pretty bad shape and entire sections of brick had to be replaced.
Over the last few days, the scaffolding has finally come down, revealing the (almost) finished result .  Only a little bit of that stone face is still visible behind the old sign above the entrance on Sackett. 
So, what do you think of the transformation?
