I looked at the intersection of Cates and Clarendon where the Hodiamont Streetcar Tracks swept by, leaving a little quarter crescent of land back in April of 2013, and I came back with a historic picture in hand to take… Continue Reading
Cote Brilliante Avenue, Revisited Again

I went by the old St. Mark’s Roman Catholic Church on Page Boulevard at Academy Avenue. It looks much like it did the last time I visited, but I think more of the window framing in the tower is missing.… Continue Reading
Former Bethany Evangelisch Lutheran Church
Constructed in 1928 as the Bethany Evangelisch Lutheran Church, this building is now occupied by the Tabernacle of Life Church. It is a great example of English Gothic Revival architecture. It was absolutely glowing in the early morning light the… Continue Reading
