This photograph was taken looking northeast from the Creveling farm. The Woman's National Daily Building is on the right. The octagonal Woman's Magazine Building is in the center. The Italian Renaissance Revival mansion, stables and carriage house that belonged to Jackson Johnson are on the left. Johnson was one of University City's first aldermen. Washington Avenue curved south around the Johnson property, and Williams Avenue, running vertically across the center of the photograph, was south of Washington. Williams seems to have just been graded and curbs constructed, but it comes to a dead end in the middle of a field. | |
This photograph was taken about 1910 from an upper story of the Jackson Johnson mansion on Delmar Boulevard. This is the southwest corner of the Johnson property and shows the octagonal carriage house and a corner of the roof of the stable. Washington Avenue is almost diagonally left to right across the center of the photograph. Vasser Avenue, the western boundary of the Johnson property, intersects Washington from the right, and Williams Avenue intersects farther west from the left. Washington Avenue dead ended at the boundary of the Creveling farm. The Creveling farm houses and barns are in the distance on the right, and other structures are at center left. |
