1922—The Promise of Tennis Courts

Naomi Berenberg Leavitt, who recently moved from Pennsylvania to Connecticut, wrote about another move in her memoirs, started in the 1990's, and still ongoing:

"We moved into 1745 E. 7th Street when I was 6 (1922) It had a coal furnace, gas fueled lighting, and the promise of tennis courts for the whole row of houses. They never materialized. My folks paid $6000 for the house, and it sold in the '50's for double.
