Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - When I looked outside this morning, the trees were heavily coated with fresh white snow and snow was still falling. It's the most beautiful snowfall we've had in quite some time.
The weather forecast called for winds to pick up later in the morning, and I decided to grab my camera and get some photos before everything blew away. I spent about an hour and a half, all within a few blocks of my house. Just about the time my hands couldn't take any more, my camera battery ran out and then I got bombed by big clumps of snow as a sudden breeze shook the trees.
My shack
Winter garden
The only row houses I know of in Fort Wayne.
I lived in an apartment here forty years ago. If my information is correct, this house was built about 1911 by the Latz family, owners of Wolf & Dessauer Department Store, and converted to apartments around 1937.
Castle Gallery
Renovation in progress. This place had gotten in pretty rough shape; it had had two fires that I know of. One was started by a tenant cleaning motorcycle parts in his kitchen sink, using gasoline. It's looking really nice, so far.
The three houses at the west end of this block were all moved here at different times to prevent their being razed to create parking lots. Prior to the first house being moved here, this was a parking lot, and prior to that a large Italianate brick home stood here. It was razed some time in the 1960s.
I had an efficiency apartment at Sheridan Court Apartments in 1960.
