I return to this forlorn row of beautiful Second Empire tenements south of the old Friedens Evangelisch Lutheran Church. Nothing is happening to these houses, other than that they are deteriorating more.

They are all abandoned, as far as I can tell. I suspect they were all built at the same time.

They are still not beyond being saved, though.

And the church itself still looks great, and as far as I can tell, is still occupied and in use.

The intersection is still intact, but most of these buildings are abandoned as well.
