We are going to look at a neighborhood changing character rapidly. My neighborhood was built mostly in the early 60's as small bungalows built for the working class and the service workers to UT and the state government. First image is the kind of home being built as the bungalows are being torn down: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Monday+Misc/2402+yellow.jpg.html This quasi Victorian is on the expensive side of a dividing street. Remember that in the early 60's there were still red lines for property and mortgages so if you were of the correct demographic you could get a mortgage and if not it might be problematic: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Monday+Misc/1200.jpg.html Another relatively upscale mid-century modern on the correct side of the divide: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Monday+Misc/2002+BMW.jpg.html This bungalow is typical of the upper end of the lower end: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Monday+Misc/2201.jpg.html Bright colors perk up a neighborhood; http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Monday+Misc/305+yellow.jpg.html This cement block home was probably built by a mason in the fifties as it is located in an earlier development: a matter of a few blocks as Austin was dedicated to little change at that time. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Monday+Misc/white+cinder+block.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
