The facade of La Casa on Mount Pleasant Street is marked by a mural of bold, sun-drenched colors that frame its entryway. Built in the late seventies, this building functioned as the first transitional housing center for Latin American immigrants in the district. It provided shelter for hundreds of men escaping civil wars and economic collapse in Central America. The space served as a landing pad for newcomers, offering a few months of stability before they found permanent footing in the city.
