On our walk along Prescott Street this weekend, we were smitten with the house at 510. It looks like a cottage straight out of an enchanted forest. It is on the northwest edge of downtown in the Bellemeade neighborhood. It is also only a mile from Grimsley High School and on the edge of the greenway. It was built in 1925 when this part of town was a more defined neighborhood. Walking around this property, you see more great stonework, especially the back fireplace. To the right is West Smith Street and to the left are construction trucks, and across the street is the Artistic Motion School of Arts & Preparatory Academy. While business and industry has encroached upon the neighborhood and made it an oasis in an urban setting, in this specific frame, we see a cozy little home.
Next time you are on this part of the greenway, take a little detour and explore Prescott Street. Have a nice Tuesday!
It has character.
