Title: History Report on the 3 Shotgun Houses across from LaVilla
Post by: Carolyn on September 17, 2014, 12:18:11 PM
Hey all,

My daughter is doing a History Report....  Not due until February so we are getting a huge head start YAY!!!!!

She goes to LaVilla.

One of her topics may be those three homes across the street from LaVila.  Looking for some info or websites that may help us.

Thanks in advance
I have a feeling this is a great place to find out info.

Carolyn

Hope w can see the finished product. Anything to shine a light on the Shotguns would be great. I am afraid one day when we aren't looking, they will be demolished for being caught up in the war on blight.

4th floor of the main library, ask for Jerry. He may have records of the previous occupants in the archives.
