I noticed these boarded up houses when my brother dropped me off to catch the subway at the Museum stop on Monday. I meant to get back sooner but, I did get there today. As I was taking the photos I wished the windows weren't gone. Sometimes those old places have stained glass and leaded panes and other nice features in the windows. In houses now it's something you order and plan after they are built, if at all. Or just some sticker type thing, not glass at all.
These houses will be gone before long. The construction crews were around, working on a site one street down. No idea what would have been there before. I'm glad to have some photos of these houses while they are still around. I don't nearly enough about architecture to guess how old they are. It was interesting that they were all very close and yet each had a unique look. I would guess they were all built at the same time but maybe by different people/ builders.

Those are amazing houses! I would love to get inside and take a look around and, as you said, get a good look at those windows, too. Great pics!
