Neighborhoods like this were relegated to African Americans...good example being Federal Street in Chicago, on the main rail lines in from the East Cost.<BR/><BR/>The church moved in 1922 to W Dayton, so I suspect the neighborhood was being vacated even in the 1920s. <BR/><BR/>For kevin, yes he moved a lot, but note that the Dunbars pretty much lived in that same neighborhood, which was, historically, the first permanent black district (but shared with Germans in the ealry years) in the city. <BR/><BR/>More on 19th Cenutry black Dayton later.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-53791573336847287242008-02-17T10:50:00.000-05:002008-02-17T10:50:00.000-05:00Interesting that those houses were in such rough c...Interesting that those houses were in such rough condition so long ago.
