Cherokee Street Between Tennessee and South Compton Avenues, North Side

I realized I had never photographed the far western portion of Cherokee Street before you reach Gravois Avenue, and I spotted these two beautiful apartment buildings. I suspect they were designed and built by the same entity that built these two up on Wyoming Avenue.

The new traffic calming measures along Virginia Avenue also intersect at Cherokee, and you can see a roundabout with its bent sign, presumably hit by someone in the right foreground.

This building below has been renovated; I feel like someone told me a story about a previous owner taking all the windows out.

The narrative of Cherokee is so much related to the streetcar, but this end of the street did not turn into such a heavily commercial corridor as it did to the east.

Some bars have come and gone over the years.

Then we reach South Compton Avenue after this house.
