Downtown San Diego Salvation Army senior apartments, erected 1996. by Tim Kiser

Downtown San Diego Salvation Army senior apartments, erected 1996.

Here was one of many Salvation Army senior apartment buildings in the western U.S. named "Silvercrest Residence"

Personally I think it would be fine for the provision of senior housing to be separated from acts of proselytization, but that's not how the U.S. is set up.

-----------------------

In downtown San Diego, California, on July 1st, 2024, was the Salvation Army Silvercrest Residence (built in 1996) at the southwest corner of 7th Avenue and E Street.

In the far suburbs of Detroit in 1996 were these Methodists chanting "F. U. M. C." by Tim Kiser

In the far suburbs of Detroit in 1996 were these Methodists chanting "F. U. M. C."

I was pretty alert in 1996 and I don't think this style of brick veneer was fashionable then. It looks ten or thirty years older than 1996.

Oh well I guess not everything needs to be fashionable huh.

World-famous as probably the world's first "five-over-one" or "one-plus-five" aptbldg, here is the 1996 architectural landmark Casa Heiwa in Little Tokyo in L.A. by Tim Kiser

World-famous as probably the world's first "five-over-one" or "one-plus-five" aptbldg, here is the 1996 architectural landmark Casa Heiwa in Little Tokyo in L.A.

Most of the five-over-ones that came after it lack the charm of this one.

Here, read about five-over-ones a/k/a one-plus-fives in Bloomberg Businessweek. The article talks about Casa Heiwa but does not bother to show you a picture of it!, so I flew to Los Angeles and took a picture.

I love this porch!

I am happy to report that this charming duplex was built in 1996, according to various real estate websites. Wonderful!

Hey why don't you fling open those shutters this pretty day! Haha I'm just kidding they don't open.
