Ann Avenue Between Ohio and South Jefferson Avenues

I actually looked at Ann Avenue back in November of 2017 in two parts, here and here, in between Ohio and South Jefferson Avenues. Back then, the storefront that would become the restaurant Savage was yet to be renovated; the windows are now covered again.

You either got a chance to eat there or you didn’t.

Moving along, we see that these houses are much older than the ones we’ve been looking at.

This is actually Thomas Allen’s Western Addition, dating from 1869, making it one of the older subdivisions in Fox Park, and stretches up to the northeast corner of the neighborhood.

The age is reflected in the older housing styles such as the Italianate and Second Empire; we’d been seeing houses from the 1890s and early Twentieth Century before.

I would estimate many of these houses are from the 1870s and 1880s.

After these houses, we make it to South Jefferson Avenue.
