These two buildings stood on Leffingwell at Delmar. In March 2007, there were two.

In April 2009, only one remained. It was gone by 2011.

Nearby on Samuel Shepard, a few scattered houses survive, boarded up.

This house sat in its ruinous condition for years. These photographs are from March 2003.

Just to the north on Delmar is the Scott Joplin House complex, a group of houses that is a State Historic site and is run as a state park. As such, the houses are in tip-top shape, a startling contrast with the decay and vacancy around them.
