Ex-mayor Thomas' Residence, 1910
Wallace Avenue

 

Covington, Kentucky
From the City of Covington's Strategic Plan from 1930, to illustrate the problem of non-uniform plantings. We couldn't find its location, but architect Warren LeMay came to our rescue: The picture “is of Wallace Avenue in Wallace Woods. It shows the wood clapboard-clad front gable and porch of 229 Wallace Avenue on the left, the brick front gable, brick porch, triple attic window, five-over-one second-story windows, and quoins of 227 Wallace Avenue very clearly, with only the porches of a few houses visible beyond, along with the two-story bay windows on the twin mirrored houses at 219 Wallace Avenue and 217 Wallace Avenue in the distance. All of these houses are still standing.”

Covington Business

Eastern Avenue at Durrett
The 1930 Covington City Plan cited this building
as a bad example: a business in a residential neighborhood.
A big thanks to Joyce Snow and her friends for identifying the location.

 

Martana Wallace Woods, Covington, Kentucky
Martana [sic], c. 1910 Martanna Flats, 1909
Someone has written on the back
of the Martanna card that “Mr. Martin
Durrett and wife Anna own this
property so this is how it got its name.”

“There is a rumor afloat, that several of Covington's generous millionaires are about to buy 'Wallace Woods'
and donate it to the city of Covington for a park. It is sincerely to be wished that there is much
truth in the report, for there is no more convenient nor more desirable place for a park. 
The grand old mansion [Holmes Castle] would be a charming place for a 'Public library.'”
from the Cincinnati weekly Chic (V 1, #19),
