1280 Richmond Terrace, 1931
This simple and attractive house sits on the sharp bend in Richmond Terrace at the foot of Pelton Avenue. The lot in the right of the picture has over the years been used as storage for bundles of wood as well as heavy equipment. Once, though, it was a gas station, specifically a "Tydol" station. I'd never heard of it so of course I looked it up. Click on the link and you can learn about it too. Then you'll have that going for you.
Same house, today
The house, sans porch, doesn't otherwise look all that changed. A fence has replaced the hedges, though with the increased traffic on the Terrace that would seem to be sensible. The trees now tower over the house and the Captain's House behind it is hid from view.
