field notes

Mix of 1850s-70s two-three story row houses with later four-five tenement apartments. Older buildings have 6-10 foot setbacks, later ones have none. One large school and playground, north-south streets are commercial, Smith is gentrified, Hoyt borders public housing. Smith has five-six story buildings, Hoyt: one-three. One instance of newer (subsidized?) housing with space for car in front.
