- Description:
- National Rose Furniture Warehouse (767 Kentucky Street at Railroad Avenue). Another view showing particularly poor housekeeping. Notice how weeds have grown up along the right-of-way. In fact, the situation is so bad that it is difficult to see the rail running along the right. See how the road parallels the tracks. There is a good deal of traffic along this road as shown by the numbers of cars parked on the left side of the picture and also by the fact that there is a stop-and-go light along the road in the background.
