Street car tracks through the Circle

Street car tracks through the Circle
This undated photo taken in the early twentieth century shows the streetcar tracks on Franklin Avenue near the Circle. The tracks were installed in the years 1907-1908 and destroyed the nature-like setting of Modoc Park. After the tracks were constructed through the Park, the park area became known simply as Franklin Circle. The building in the background with the turreted towers is the Beckwith Apartment building. Built in 1899, it stood on the Circle until it was razed at some time after 1981.
