I never liked the plain, flat attached townhouses (from the 1920s?) that you see in the photo, that characterize this neighborhood. They seem devoid of any charm. But if the neighborhood were to acquire a significant number of well designed modern apartment buildings on corner lots, the townhouses would make excellent midblock infill. Actually, the process is well underway.
