Rowhouses on
the chopping block, 4700 O'Donnell Street near Oldham on "the Hill." Photos
taken mid-December 2007. These houses, which fronted old farmland developed
into trucking companies in the early 1950s, were being razed as new townhouses
- "Athena Square" - were going up around the corner on Oldham Street. A third
house, to the right of the two shown, came down about Thanksgiving 2007.
