Row of Brick Italianate Cottages c. 1870
Here's a rare sight: three c. 1870 Italianate brick cottage that remain relatively intact. You can see a ghost outline of a porch on the example on the right but it's anyone's guess if it was an original porch or not. Provided local historical resources have an early photo of this Cottage row it might show original porches or a lack thereof. Sometimes local companies built identical housing for employees and that could be the case here although whatever company was connected to them is long defunct. Too bad no effort has been apparently made to preserve these rare survivors. I can only hope steps are taken for their preservation before they are gone.
