I find Penrose to be an interesting neighborhood, and as I was heading back north after seeing the despoliation of the Western Lutheran Cemetery, I snapped some photos of the architectural variety along Shreve Avenue.

Yikes, this house has some problems! But they’re not structural, as I always remind people, in these houses the side walls are what actually hold up the building. I’m sure it will probably be demolished but what a shame.

I’m always fascinated by the later Modern houses that are built, complete with a garage in the basement.
