The owner of a century-old house on Tennyson Street wants to make the building a historic landmark.
The house at 4450 Tennyson Street is a reminder of what this neighborhood used to be like.In the 4500 block of Tennyson Street, a row of hip, modern townhouses and three-story apartment complexes
Salone bought the smaller house for $185,000 when"that whole strip of Tennyson was like crack houses," she recalls."No one went up there unless they had to. You never wanted to come down the street because it was really scary." Now the street is lined with pricey apartments and hip stores. A few years ago, a family stopped by and asked to look around its interior. They said they were the grandchildren of the original builder of both her house and the larger one next door, but"I didn't think much of it at the time," she recalls. "I thought, 'Well, jeez, how hard could it be to get in touch with them in the future if I wanted?"The Oriental Theater, one of the last historic anchors of Tennyson, wasn't completed until 1927.
By the 1990s, the Berkeley neighborhood had lost its trolley line, Elitch Gardens had moved, and mom-and-pop businesses started leaving. In the next decade, the big buildings and businesses started coming in, and"It's really important for people to walk down the street and look left and say, 'Oh, my God, what on earth is this?' Well, guess what, that's what this whole block used to look like," Salone says.
