Another image of the 900 block of 2nd Street NE

I shot this a couple weeks ago. In the HAER photo referenced in the previous entry, this side of the block is visible, and appears to be comprised of rowhouses and 3 story brick warehouses and light industrial buildings, likely drawn to the location for access to the railroad, particularly the B&O Freight Terminal in the Eckington area. I have no idea when these buildings came down. I presume it was before Ronald Cohen began assembling all but two lots on the square.
