In the course of extending Carnegie Avenue eastward from East 89th Street to East 100th Street during the period 1917-1919, thirteen single family houses were either razed or moved. The two houses shown in this 1911 photograph once sat at 2079 and 2083 on East 90th Street. According to local architectural historian Craig Bobby, the house at 2083 East 90th (right) was a "sophisticatedly designed Queen Ann era house, moderately expensive to build." The house at 2079 East 90th (left), he added, was the older of the two, likely built around 1870. In the background on East 93rd Street is Hart Hall, which was not razed as these two houses likely were, but moved. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
