McNair Avenue Between Lynch and Sidney Streets, West Side

Continuing north past Lynch Street, we look at the west side of McNair Avenue in Benton Park. We looked at the east side of the street back in November of 2019.

These first few houses are interesting, in that they are perhaps more dense than what we see in what was originally the “suburban” Benton Park. These houses are “true” rowhouses, where there party walls in between each dwelling.

But then there are the more standard Second Empire houses that we see in the area, such as the one below.

And as is typical in the later houses, the entrances are on the side of the houses, and not in the front.

But that is not always the case, as can be seen below.
