New Research on the “Lost” Healy Block: Tour May 7th

J.B. Hudson House, 3127 Second Ave. S., mid-1890s

Hear fascinating new information gleaned from recent research about the houses on the lost, even-numbered side of Second Avenue. See images of the  houses wrecked for I-35W construction nearly six decades ago. Join researchers Anders Christensen and Ezra Gray for a walking tour of the Healy Block Residential Historic District on Sunday, May 7th to learn more about the “lost” side and updated research on the entire Block.

The 3100 block of Second Avenue South, as seen from 31st Street before I-35W construction.

Tickets are $12 on Eventbrite.  On the day of the tour, tickets will be available on site for $15.

Meet in front of the Healy-designed  George F. Bates House, 3139 Second Avenue South at 1 p.m. on May 7th. Tour will take place rain or shine.
