Tuesday Two Hundred: Amid Tudors, Craftsmen, and Traditionals, Modern Homes Move Into Area Surrounding Greenville Avenue

By Joanna England / November 6, 2012 /

When I first met my husband, he was living in a haphazardly converted four-plex off of Oram Street. With the disjointed layout and windows in strange configurations paired with his hopeless bachelor decor, I could not stand his place. And I married him anyway. These types of duplexes and four-plexes are still common in the…
