Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: These large Victorian homes were all built about 1905-1910 on the north side of Hamilton Street east of Sixteenth. At the time, this area of Allentown was relatively undeveloped with few homes and large parcels. The homes were primarily owned by bushiness owners and other affluent famines. The streetcar tracks on Hamilton Street end about a block to the west at Seventeenth Street, then turn north and go to the Allentown Fairgrounds. Eastbound, it would take about 30 minutes for the streetcar to reach the downtown central business and shopping district. Today, most of the homes in this photo postcard have been torn down, the land being used for parking. A few of the homes still remain, being used as law firm offices and funeral homes. |
