More Tree Removal on Haven Ave.;
Cottage Remodeling; Historic Ames

9 Haven Ave. (1) -- Photo by J. Hoffner

One might think that this tree is beginning to fall because of this slant, but at this point, that would be incorrect since this tree has grown from its youth with this slant. Long time neighbors can attest to this and are happy to see it finally corrected by its removal.

As for the cottage remodeling, some are happy to see the new, clean siding being applied to a cottage long in need of attention. Others are disappointed that yet another cottage loses its original victorian qualities in a community well known for these very qualities. This cottage, so visible to the wider public by its position on the main drag of Perry Avenue, will most likely remain a topic of conversation.

Ironically, it was built during that period of time when the current Perry Ave. between Genesee and Chapman was a much smaller road known as Kingsley Ave. and the main drag, during that period of time, was the walkway known as Ames Ave.  Historically, even the horses and wagons and eventually cars were only permitted on Ames Ave. to load and unload.

Today, powered wheeled vehicles (such as cars and golf carts) are only allowed parking on Ames from the day after Labor Day through June 30th but must not totally block the Walkway. The status of no parking on Ames Ave. Walkway is during the Institute's open season (July 1 through Labor Day). It has long been protected as a walkway by the presence of lawn and absence of any paving.
