Front Yards of Yesteryear

Every time I see the white picket fences of the South Side, I half-expect to see bonnets and buggies.

On College Avenue. A previous owner told me he had this big house (1905) moved to this lot from the Edna Gladney campus on Hemphill Street.

The Maxwell-Liston house (1904) on May Street.

House (1918) on Lipscomb Street.

Sure, the Benton house (1898) fence on Sixth Avenue is missing a few teeth, but that fence has been smiling for 117 years now. It’s the Miss Congeniality of the South Side.
