Love this shot taken from Camden Avenue!
See all the identical houses? These are known as “Kelly homes”. These saltbox style homes were built for employees of the Kelly Springfield plant (located near the current YMCA). These homes now make up the majority of Gephart Drive as well as the ends of Washington and Fayette Streets. The barren hillside in the background is now Gephart Drive, Cleveland Avenue, etc.
Thanks to Al Feldstein for sharing his historical photo collection!
