May be a bit seedy, but it has a TV antenna!

I'd like to definitively say that this is the old part of Oregon Hill that no longer exists, and it probably is. But, it may also be Church Hill.

Ye Olde Oregon Hill still exists in photo's. Looks like 611 South Belvidere Street, built 1860 and no longer standing. East side of Belv. St. at corner of Rowe & Belv. Street. See page 208, Old Richmond Neighborhoods by Mary Wingfield Scott. 609 Belv. in background with a barber shop at rear and 1 story frame building 615 Belv. in foreground per 1905 Sanborn map. 609 is also frame with asphalt brick siding much popular in 1940's. Tardus knows history of barber that lived in 609 Belv.

Bravo to Greg and Prof. Elliott for the identification of This Old House!

Hey Charles how is the old place holding up?

Looks like a good way to beat the extra baggage charge by todays Airlines

She was Clara Dolores Machain, before becoming Mrs. George Washington Lopp. In the New York Times story of 2/3/15, she is referred to as Clara "Washington-Lopp", sender of two 15,000 pound shipments of cigarettes, cigars and tobacco to soldiers at the front. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9500E3D91538E633A... A newspaper article from May, 1916 describes her husband as shooting and wounding her and his stepdaughter in an argument about divorce. She is described as being known as "Lady Nicotine" by grateful soldiers for whom she had collected millions of cigarettes. news.google.com/newspapers?id=j9ExAAAAIBAJ&sjid=_uIFA... Other newspaper articles describe the weapon as a chisel. One account says she was Paraguayan by birth, her father being the the Paraguayan minister in Paris.

Thanks so much artolog, for finding this information about "Lady Nicotine." We will add some of it to the record the next time we update.
