S Bonnie Brae

Thanks again. That actually answered a question I've had for a long time. There's a 1922 apartment building now on the site of the Dave's residence, but with the original stables on the alley. I wondered what the backstory was on that.

Left to right, The Athletic Model Guild compound, the Luther Green murder house, the Forget house, the 1922 replacement for the Dave's home and the 1896 Persons' residence:

And here's the Dave's stables, which survived the fire (the Forget is on the right):

Dave residence was finally replaced with apartments, 12 years after the fire:

And finally, the not forgotten former site of the Behrendt/Forget home, 1003 S Olive on the SW corner of S Olive and W 10th (Olympic):

I wish like anything I could have seen the 800 block of S Bonnie Brae intact. If the 1894 Wright-Mooers house at 818 and No. 824 (1893) are anything to go by, it must have been spectacular:
