I don't know if they had difficulty selling those built further west or not. Maybe they would have been more popular if they were more attractive. :D

Update:

Looking NW from Beacon Hill Lane and Tracy.

Looking north from Beacon Hill Lane.

2112 Tracy has been remodeled. I figured this building would be demolished eventually as part of the redevelopment of the northern section of Beacon Hill north of 22nd Street. It appears to have suffered a fire at some point.

It appears they are removing all the trees west of this property. This is looking south from E. 21st Street between Tracy and Forest.
