Next Sunday is the Cookie tour in Union Square. Many houses are open for the public to see how to rehab (or not to) an old house.
Today, Bolton Hill gets all the accolades of grand 19th century upper middle class houses. The city had more than a few of these neighborhoods, just that they fell out of favor over the decades. Union Square was one. During the 2nd war, many grand houses were chopped up into apartments or rooms were rented to railroad workers. Hence the area lost its luster.
