  • Michael DiLiberto and Sunia Boneham photographed outside their new house in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland. Michael and Sunia are artists and musicians who moved into a house in the Collinwood area a month ago. The house had been foreclosed and was run down and stripped of its pipe and aluminum siding by scrappers, so the community development corporation bought it from the bank and fixed it up. As communities across the country confront the effects of the housing crisis, small but determined groups of artists and architects are colonizing boarded-up, half-empty neighborhoods, vacant retail space and foreclosed homes in an effort to revive ramshackle areas as artistic havens in cities like Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis. Some are drawn by rock-bottom rents and home prices, while others are lured by the creative possibilities of a blank urban canvas. (CREDIT: Greg Ruffing/Redux for The Wall Street Journal)
