Yesterday’s flooding pictures on Idlewood brought to mind the structures that used to be along that stretch of road. Click here for a 1997 photo of 912 Idlewood on Flikr.

Here’s the caption:

This former storefront / house on the 900 block of Idlewood Avenue burned and was demolished in 1998. It sat at the alley immediately south of the 200 block of south Cherry Street. The community garden is located precisely where it and its neighbor at 914 sat. Oregon Hill, Richmond.
