I looked at a segment of the west side of South Seventh Boulevard (remember, the east side was annihilated for the widening of the major traffic artery back in the mid Twentieth Century) in November of 2025, so I thought I would photograph more of the surviving and reconstructed urban fabric to the south, heading north. Above, at the northwest corner of Barton and Seventh, we see some sensitive in-fill that has been constructed.

Next we see some interesting townhomes, which were built as pairs, and were almost certainly built for more middle class residences.

I’m intrigued by the building above; there are only three original front doors, but it is a massive pile of bricks. I suspect there might have been alley entrances for the third floor apartments. Or they could have been huge townhouses.

Just right next door are some humble workers’ houses.

And then right when we get to Shenandoah Avenue, we see the South Broadway Athletic Club, which I’ve looked at before.

My guess was huge townhouses! At first I didn’t see all three doors, but then I scrolled in and saw that two share the same entranceway. Cool building in any case!
