I always enjoy the moment when Blair starts heading up the hill towards the Bissell Stand Pipe and the houses sit high up on elevated earthen plinths on the left and right sides of the street.
I’ve always liked this extremely old wood frame house below.
I still love the Bissell tower, which is one of three in the city.
The little storefront on the northwest side of the traffic circle that surrounds the tower is still in good condition.
Many of the houses are in good condition.
When we reach East Grand Boulevard, we spot the Grand tower off in the distance as we finish up Hyde Park.
Such old great houses. Is there any renewal going on or is there more abandonment?
SLP is my favorite go-to site. Thx
There has been some redevelopment of historic houses and new in-fill in the last ten years. Sadly, we’ve lost a fair number of historic buildings, as well.
