Success Stories

The Chronicle Building
This historic landmark building was built in 1903 and originally housed The Orange Chronicle, a daily newspaper.  It is ideally located just a few steps from Main Street and less than 100 yards from the Orange train station.  Over the years it had become badly deteriorated and was occupied by a squatter with dozens of cats and dogs.   In 2003, HANDS took title and restored the building to its former prominence.  It is now home to the HANDS office, Pooka Pure and Simple Body Boutique, and artist live-work space.
