Notes
  • Significance: Derived from the Sheppard estate, the first block west of Boulevard gives a different impression of Monument Avenue than those blocks to the east. Boulevard is a dividing line for Monument, not just because it is a major intersecting street that slices through the avenue at an oblique angle, but also because its streetscape presents a different image than the eastern Monument that developed earlier. The block between Boulevard and Sheppard especially marks this new order of Monument Avenue. Although the residential use of the block is in keeping with others along the avenue, 85 percent of all the buildings are apartments. The apartment complexes dominate their lots, leaving little front yard and even less side yard to beautify. As on all of Monument Avenue, the tree-lined median strip provides a grassy retreat to residents of this high-density neighborhood.
