A Bluestocking Knits

Our local public library has a collection of photographs of historical buildings in the city — they didn’t happen to have one of my street itself, but here is one of the houses on it.  This one was built in 1907, by, as it happens, the aunt of the family who lived in our own house.  Not much is left of the original houses, I’m afraid, due to the building frenzy of the late 1960s and early 1970s in the area and the fact that the lots are zoned for apartments.  I like this photo — it’s not particularly "vintage" itself, but I can dream about the way the street used to look, all tree-lined and bungalow-ish!

"Show and Tell" your street.
