I want to branch out a little more and represent more neighborhoods. This is a great old real estate advertisement — I’ve been finding a ton of these lately — highlighting Fort Lincoln Heights in NE Washington. Yes, I know that Barbadoes is actually spelled Barbados. But this is a blog that remains true and authentic, so we don’t rewrite history.
The best part is “a twenty minutes’ trot from the city boundary (two miles).” Seven-room homes sold for $2,000 which would be around $51,000 today (based on the CPI).
Do you ave any other maps of Fort Lincoln? By the way this site is awesone. I’ll be sure to crss post.
Lincoln Heights is a residential neighborhood in North East Washington DC It is bounded by Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue to the north, Blaine Street to the south, Division Avenue to the west, and 49th Street NE to the east.
