We're looking first at the two houses on the left; the one in the distance is privately owned. Two intermediate houses were lost in 2001, when I first photographed this block.

I've never gotten good shots of the two myself, but they were among the countless buildings covered by Kevin Kieffer in 2002-2003. His photographs show both their details and that one of the pair was occupied just a few years before Blairmont got it.

The little cottage to the south has also become a Blairmont building:

Occupied a few years ago, today it's boarded up and vacant-- but that just goes hand in hand with Paul McKee's ownership, doesn't it?
