I grew up living in the bigger of the two homes with my parents and three brothers. We made many friends from the neighborhood and to this day have continued those friendships. It was an interesting neighborhood and we never forgot from where we came. It was a tough neighborhood and not friendly to those who could not speak the English language but we learned fast. My parents worked hard and because of them we never felt poor and learned what it meant to work hard. Both of my parents became successful and sold both homes in the mid 60's. We still talk about the old neighborhood to this day especially with our friends who grew up with us. I would like to think we are who we are because of our childhood. I printed pictures of these homes so I can show my children where we lived. Thank you for posting this and it was a friend from the old neighborhood who told me to check this out and prompted me to post a message.

You can tell that they were some of the earliest buildings in the area, judging by how low the windows were to the ground - maybe the early 1880's. It's a shame they weren't saved, but that whole area is a decimated industrial area that was cut off from the rest of the city when they put I94 through many years ago. Hopefully they salvaged any usable architectural material from the interiors. <br /><br />Driving along that stretch (on washington), you can see more random examples of homes and an old wood-frame building which used to be a meat equipment business. I think the building is for sale, but in poor condition. It would be a shame if that one were lost.Lloyd Llewellynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569842251641678859.post-87958124155091965922012-06-19T19:42:43.609-05:002012-06-19T19:42:43.609-05:00Must be the from the same era as the yellow brick ...Must be the from the same era as the yellow brick farmhouses out here in Central MN, some of them still going strong. The windows are similar, with the arch at the top. 1880's or so? Phil/MNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
