Daily Dose of Blairmont 51

Continuing where we left off, here's the south side of 1900 Wright Street.

---

Left to right:

• 1912-14 Wright Street (Noble Development Co, September 2006)
  
• 1916 Wright Street (MLK 3000 LLC, February 2007)
  
• 1918 Wright Street (unlisted Blairmont company, February 2007)
  
• 1920 Wright Street (MLK 3000 LLC, February 2007)

August 2003

The ruined house on the right was rubble long before Blairmont came along, but they're responsible for what happened to the triple house next door.


November 2007

---

• 1924 Wright Street (Blairmont Associates LLC, October 2003)

This mansard-roofed house was one of Blairmont's earliest purchases. It was already vacant and deteriorating when they got it.

August 2003

They evidently did nothing to secure the building or prevent its destruction. By last year, it had been so thoroughly destroyed by brick rustlers that there was hardly anything left to photograph.


November 2007

A vacant, privately owned house rounds out the block. It, too, was destroyed by brick rustlers in 2007. The remainder of the lots are vacant and have been so for years.
