Parkside

Built from the vestiges of the 1876 Centennial landscape by Frederick Poth and his young architect Henry Flower, Parkside rose and fell over the next century due to its changing demographics. Extensive decay by the 1980s was reversed starting in the ’90s by beautiful building restorations that retained the neighborhood’s affordability. Learn about the historic preservation efforts and setbacks of Parkside over the past 20 years and see the efforts of the community’s engagement in the preservation of the neighborhood as a whole, including a look at the community garden.
