Photos taken during roadway widening - 15th & Rollins Aves SE

This is a 1934 photo of homes located on the west side of 15th Ave SE, between the railroad tracks and Rollins Ave SE.

The house that's completely shown in this photo is 829 15th Ave SE. This is the home that is currently located just to the south of the 2-story stucco/brick office and apartment building at 837 15th Ave SE (home to the SECIA office from 2004-2011).

The home on the left that is only partially visible in the photo is today's 825/827 duplex. This is the home that had a deadly fire in September of 2003.

Street widened at curve and uniform retaining wall built. March 1934






This photo is taken from under the railroad bridge, looking up 15th Ave SE on the west side of the street. There are two workmen on the sidewalk.

The 829 15th Ave SE home featured in the first photo is the last one you can see on the west side of the road in this photo.

In the background, on the right, you can get a glimpse of the mansions that used to face Van Cleve Park.
