1211 26th St. between R and S.
This old house is located on a relatively empty block of a relatively empty part of 26th Street. The modern siding had fallen off most of the house revealing the beautiful old wood beneath it. Perhaps due to hurricane damage or simply age and neglect, the right pillar which held up the porch roof, had fallen and lay haphazardly on the spot it once stood. Alongside this lay portions of the rotting banister that had also collapsed. A wrap-around side porch was wonderfully concealed by overgrown trees and bushes. Behind the house is a complex of several sheds and a large garage, all full of different relics of varying age. Finally, its vintage backyard gate provides the icing on the cake for this old beauty.
