Taken in 1928, as noted on the picture.
The site is currently the 'Concord House' apartment building, a pretty crummy looking mid-century apartment complex, although there appears to be older, nicer multi-family building 'Delphene Manor' to the north, and the building to the south, 1250 4th street, may be a survivor (although since converted to apartments). |
Using the data on the property websites (it's quicker than going through the building permits!), it looks like Concord House was built in 1956. While it may not be as attractive as the house above, it seems to be well maintained and not a bad example of its style. Delphene Manor was built in 1928, so may be just out of view in the image above. I can't see a build date for 1230/1232, but 1222 4th Street was built in 1921, and 1214 4th Street was built in 1916. It also looks like you're right about 1250 4th Avenue being a survivor - it has a build date of 1922. The single dwellings I've mentioned above have estimated values of $1-2million.
