Stan - if you find toe coordinates I'd be happy to - it could even be
some place I already have photos of. But if it is "Just a block off
Broadway" it's not near the UN. UN - east side, Broadway at the same
"latitude" is on the west side. roughly a mile away.
How neat that you live in an old house

hmmm … owning a house in a landmark district in Denver, and having a sense for
architecture, i have a very mixed opinion of enforced historic preservation; it
has been very messy in my neighborhood, and i live in fear, should i ever have
the money to do major work on my house, of the edicts of Landmark Preservation
Commission; meanwhile many of my neighbors find ways to skirt the regulations
(mostly by failing to pull permits) and cause obvious harm to the historic
fabric
i think strict historic preservation should be used very selectively, but i
also wish people in general had more consciousness of architecture and urban
design
Steve, the house we lived in in Kansas City is 175 years old this year. Young
by European standards but historic in this context. Two log cabins provide the
base for the Federal-style farm house it appears today.The oldest or 2nd oldest
house in the county. I could easily have gotten a National Historic Landmark
designation but the downside would have been the possibility of renovation
restrictions.
Ann, Meg's step-mother's grandmother owned a small apartment building "just a block
off Broadway" back in the 1910's-1920's. Sometime when you feel like an excuse for a
photowalk, we'll dig out the address and ask you for a few images of what it is like
today. Ofhand I am not sure of the cross street but did a Google search on it a few years
ago and the U.N. appeared to be nearby.
