Brown-Delaware Street |
|
Historic pictures from Brown, Delaware, and Brown-Delaware Streets. The properties in this area are located within both the West Central and Historic West Eighth Street Districts. Note: Delaware Street and Brown Street are combined from West 6th St. to West 14th St. and are known as Brown-Delaware Street. Remnants of Brown Street still remain North of West 6th Street and are included here. In the 1974 a 3 lane road was carved through the area for "better downtown traffic flow". The construction of this thoroughfare caused quite a storm within the city and helped move the downtown residents to diligently work toward the creation of our two Historic Districts.
