5. Frank Powell House: 869 E. Broad Street: 1889-12/17/1965: Demolished for unknown reasons. It appears that the last family member living in the house had died in October 1965, and the house was quickly torn down afterwards. The site has remained a vacant lot ever since.

6. B’Nail Israel Temple: 925 Bryden Road: 1904-1969: The end began in 1960 when the Temple Israel congregation moved to a new church on East Broad. Caldwell Temple moved in that year, but the growing church quickly ran out of space. In 1968, Caldwell Temple swapped churches with the First United Methodist Church next door at 873 Bryden Road. First United had been rapidly losing membership and no longer needed the space, but they had no plans for the former Caldwell Temple, either. The following year, the church was sold to the city. After receiving federal park grants, the city tore down the church to put in Blackburn Park.

12. Fred Lazarus House: 1080 Bryden Road: 1906-1924: Demolished for unknown reasons. Lazarus died in 1917, so it may be that the house was sold and demolished for site redevelopment. An apartment complex was built sometime after demolition, likely by the late 1920s or early 1930s. The apartment building was torn down around 1982, and the site remained vacant until 2018 when a new residential development was constructed.

14. Bryden Apartments: 1277 Bryden Road: 1902-1976: It seems this apartment complex began to run into trouble in 1966, when a fire broke out in the attic. Apparently, financial trouble for owners forced a sale in 1972 and then again in 1974. The Boys Own Youth Shelter, Inc. purchased the property in 1974 with a plan to convert it into housing for troubled youth, but then decided to tear it down and build new, possibly due to higher costs associated with a large renovation. The new shelter, however, was never built, as the organization ended up running up a delinquent property tax tab and the property ended up in the hands of the City in 1978. The vacant lot eventually became English Park and Kwanzaa Playground.
