We now turn to South 38th Street, which is just a total mess of architectural styles and years of construction.

We see houses that could have been built in the 1890s to the 1950s.

We see nice bungalows such as this one below, which might be described as a restrained version of the Gingerbread style.

And then again, below we see houses that might have been built fifty years apart.

Red brick is eschewed for darker colors, which would continue throughout the early Twentieth Century.

We see more of those apartment buildings with the small gables, and now a dormer.

I might describe the house below as a Cape Cod, with its simple gable roof over a box.

I’ve seen these houses before in Carondelet on Vermont Avenue.

We conclude our tour of this interesting pocket of houses and apartment buildings, showing the diversity of architecture in western Dutchtown.

Living in New England now, it’s interesting to see the adaptation of salt box! Also, the flat in the final picture caught my eye as the doors are usually side by side, but not here.
WELL , IT’S NOT LEVITTOWN . FOLKS CAN SEE THEMSELVES AS INDIVIDUALS . NO GROTESQUE VERTICAL TRACT MANSIONS BESPOILING THE REFINED OLDER SUBURBS.
