Forgotten Providence

Set back in a large lot with a big concrete yard. Totally boarded.

Board-up fail.

 
825sqft of suck. One of 8 derelict properties on this street, which is only a couple of blocks long. Cats are living the rubble surrounding the house. Cute, but messed up.

See it burn from 11/2/2006
“Fire companies in the West End district got an early morning workout at this 2.5 story wood frame 25 X 25 vacant multiple dwelling located at 69 Althea Street on November 2, 2006 at 07:45.”

A paintball-stained apartment building from the 80’s. Neighbors says it’s looked this way for a decade, but one tenant remains.

Profoundly unsecured, primarily because it is missing exterior walls. Once a corner market of some kind.

 
Big old dis-used industrial mill-type building. Sure could think of a lot better ways to use this space than letting is sit around like this.

299 Broadway - West End

Gorgeous Victorian across from Julian’s Restaurant, vacant for at least 5 years now and slowly falling into disrepair.  Some boarded and broken windows on several floors. 

361 West Fountain - West End

This building used to be an auto training school and the Southest Asian Youth Center. It says it’s “available” from realtor Joseph Martino. 

514 Broadway - West End

A beautiful Victorian right on Broadway, empty, boarded up, and with a surprise piano out front!
