More of Victorian Liberty Avenue in Bloomfield

4701 Liberty Avenue

More of the Victorian business district of Bloomfield, from the age when it was a very German neighborhood. We begin with a building we have seen before, which has just finished a renovation and is ready for another century and a quarter of use. The tall third floor, as old Pa Pitt remarked before, looks like an assembly room of some sort.

The rest of these buildings all date from the 1890s.

The date stone gives us the date 1890 and the name of the owner, P. Biedenbach.
