[Tim Stutz sent a newspaper clipping, from almost exactly 100 years ago today, about the real estate boom in Petworth. He wrote:]
At the bottom of the page is an ad [shown below] for housing lots, including the one that I live on now. It apparently was going for $800.00 - pretty good price. The photo it has of the houses for sale at 703 and 705 Randolph are (I guess) homes that were destroyed for the Metro. Pretty neat stuff.
Click on the image to see it full size, or here for the PDF of the whole page.
wow, it's so great to see this! I was also happy to see the ad for lots on my corner (8th & Taylor) - nice. Can anyone tell what street is shown in the photo on the PDF of the full page? those houses are huge - are any of them still standing?
