Originally known as Von Versen but changed due to anti-German sentiment, we’ll now look at the last block of Enright between Hodiamont, basically the last street of the West End and Hamilton Avenue.

In the winter of 1887, Julius Pitzman was platting the Hamilton Place Addition. But as can be seen in the above fire insurance map, by 1909 development was still slow in coming along Enright Avenue, with large and small parcels still vacant.

Today, we can see that construction must have come in 1910s and 20s.

This photograph below captures the street in 1930, and the block seems built out.




Today, there has been very little demolition, thankfully.



An early wood frame house, which was surely one of the first homes built on the block, stands out compared to the other brick buildings.

There is a rare three family apartment building.
