Street Walking - Prospect Park

2008.10.08
The bike path along the river

Not our bench but...

Love the lines and color of the electrical poles against the water.

Yes... It's the American Queen again

Another home.

My turn to pick today.. I chose "Old Money Davenport". (see Oldbabe)

Prospect Park is a small neighborhood located on the western border of the Village of East Davenport. It runs along Mississippi Street from Eleventh Street down to River Drive and a block east along Prospect Drive and Prospect Terrace. The neighborhood was developed form 1895-1910, and is one of many Davenport neighborhoods at the turn of the century to focus around a park. Houses in Prospect Park are very large, and are set back on spacious lots. The houses are late Queen Anne style, Neoclassical, and Tudor Revival. The neighborhood contained many prominent figures, including contractors, physicians, and attorneys. The proximity and commanding view of the river kept this neighborhood a fashionable address long after the originally families had departed
Unlike similar west end and central neighborhoods, Prospect Park has retained mostly single family usage.

busybee36 I think, surprisingly, my favourite is the telegraph poles because of their lines against the background of the water.
