328 - It has 2 mailboxes, so it may be 2 separate units now - hard to imagine since it had only one heat source in our day. Overall, the outside looks at least as good as it did under HTF*'s management.
338 - Looks okay. It's apparently still a single unit.
340 - Looks quite nice, actually. The balcony in the back is now an enclosed living space and looks quite attractive.
* I had a discussion with a friend who is a city housing inspector. He had some interesting HTF stories to tell. My favorite - The inspector walked into HTF's office. No one was there, but a big PILE of money was on the desk. The inspector walked to the back room and found HTF sleeping under newspapers, in the midst of huge piles of papers.

Phil & I did a simlar walk thru on the King Holiday. While I don't disagree with your characterization of our abodes; I was very disappointed in the overall quality of the neighborhood. It was a real mess and no (or very little) commerce. Dr. Schreder's, Gary's Pro Shop, Lou's Grocery, the corner convenience store have all gone with no replacement. I would hope Mayor Gray declares the whole block a histroric area and designates the 328, 338-340 complex on the National Register of Historic Places. Maybe that will provide an impetus to redevelopment.
