The triple-decker, in some places, is a big sandwich. But here in New England, the triple-decker is a particular kind of rental housing: a three-story apartment building, usually of wood-frame construction, with each floor consisting of one apartment.
There are lots of triple-deckers in former mill and factory towns in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Waves of immigrants passed through these homes. Now, writer and filmmaker Marc Levitt is working on a documentary to tell their story. He talks to RIPR’s Chuck Hinman about his movie: Triple-Decker, A New England Love Story.Marc Levitt talks triple-decker with RIPR’s Chuck Hinman
Using an online fundraising tool, Levitt is working to raise the funds to complete his documentary. He hopes to raise enough money to finish the film within two years.
