Resident Curators. This week, the majority of the Home & Garden section is devoted to the growing resident curator programs in the North East. Nothing Down, $0 a Month, Hammer Required features three historic buildings and their resident curators. By living in old and cherished state-owned houses and taking on all the restoration responsibilities, these families often live in lieu of paying rent or taxes.
