RIP Bruce (couldn't find any info on him on through a quick google search) (Hathaway ave)

 

also on hathaway

 

tons of shadows unfortunately

 

Superior and 108.

 

Left them hanging [thornwood]

 

 

thornwood [housing stock not that bad except the 2 houses above, this street reminded me a lot of old brooklyn

 

 

quick pit stop in east cleveland, on forbes drive, at pattison park, new steps are being installed.

 

now back to our featured presentation in cleveland...  :-P

 

e. 123rd and wade park

 

As I progressed west on Ashbury Ave, Gentrification is beginning (spillover from CWRU?) (is this the magnolia-wade park historic district ?)

 

West of E.118th, the biggest residential gentrification that I'm currently seeing in cleveland; numerous homes in this area (south of Orville), were being renovated... the busiest part was the south side of Ashbury, at least 4-5 rehabs were going on as I passed !  :-o

 

These houses were great candidates, they're quite large, and similar to frat houses.

 

A before... (also right next to a recently renovated apt. building - named university view - on the corner of 115th and ashbury)

 

recent one on the left:

 

a good candidate on Lee road (not that lee)

 

housing stock's quality increased on e. 106, 107, 108.. on including these:

shame this didn't turn out well .

 

that concludes the tour =)

 

thanks for looking

 

Thanks for the tour!

Again, some of the finest quality materials ever to have gone into..or ever will go into homes.  If new stock had to stand the tests of abuse some of these have, they would not be standing at all. Somehow, someway...someday, my ship comes in and I swear I will buy an entire block of these homes, renovate them with new greener features... and create an eco-village...then target market worldwide to those who share in the vision.

I love glenville picture threads! Wish there were more!

quite a mix in this thread. shabby is ok, but abandoned is just heartbreaking. glad to hear of and to see the rehab action!!
