Blackwell
Blackwell is a neighborhood with a strong sense of community.
As far back as 1874, Blackwell was known for its many
African-American-owned businesses created by the workers and merchants who lived
there.
Today, Blackwell is a front-porch neighborhood of tree-lined
streets with a wealth of late-nineteenth-century Italianate- and Victorian-style
houses and early-twentieth-century bungalows.
The Blackwell community is committed to saving its structures with a character reminiscent of the early
twentieth century. In addition, new construction is designed to complement the
neighborhood's historic character.
