From Neighborhood to Lot: 734 Dixie Highway

Views of 734 Dixie Highway (formerly South 18th Street) south of Broadway. As late as the early 1950s the area was a viable neighborhood of residences, businesses, and organizations. Within a few years the entire area was razed to make way for the Philip Morris industrial complex. Since closed and itself razed, the area today is a vacant lot awaiting new development.
