Finally, a new entry! Thanks for holding tight while I dealt with my unexpected move and got all my stuff in order.
Today, instead of talking about a specific street I want to talk about my new apartment. Interestingly enough, the history of one street will actually come into play as well. I lived on Franklin Street prior to this move. This move brought me further downtown, so far downtown that I actually live within the boundaries of the Joseph Ellicott 1804 Plan of Buffalo. Being the history buff, I am, I couldn’t resist doing some historical research of the plot of land I now call home.
Delaware Ave Row Houses...possibly what my block looked like in 1890
I’m amazed at how much history exists in my little plot of land that’s not even a quarter of an acre. My building was built in 1932. It’s currently a restaurant with four apartments above it. Historically, in the 1890s, there were row houses on the property, and likely houses before that.
