West Avenue

-A A +A
1900–1920

Although the structures on this short and narrow street were designed by a number of builders and architects, the streetscape is one of the most uniform in the Fan: two- and threestory town houses and row houses built with little or no setback. West Avenue is one of the most prestigious addressees in the Fan and has its own mayor.
