Daily Dose of Blairmont 102

• 1445 Monroe Street (Noble Development Co. LLC, March 2006, $65,000)

A frame house, with lovely bargeboard along the front gable, and some not-so-lovely permastone siding. But hey, siding can always come off.



Paul McKee owns the vacant lot on one side; the LRA has the other. A family to the east owns a lovely little home with a beautiful and spacious garden and greenhouse.

To the west stands three vacant houses. The LRA owns two; the third is privately owned. One of the LRA properties includes a front house, alley house, and garage, most of which are in need of total rebuilding or demolition due to wall and roof collapses.
