Where are these Triplexes

Scott Mac

Here is a video from years back of a neighborhood of some Fixer triplexes.

A few minutes into the video there appears to be (What I like to think is a landlord (at 4:30) and his son out collecting the rent) , driving along through the neighborhood.

I didn't know Chicago had triplexes like this, three deckers I mean.

I've only seen triplexes like this in Boston.

I just wondered if any Chicago natives knew where this area is or what's become of it???

Also, Many renters seem to have fenced off ther small front yards, and interestingly enough fenced off the verge areas in front of their houses with a shorter fence.

Does anyone know why they have fenced off the verge areas--it does not look like a garden in any of them--do they still do this???

Here is the video

It looks like a 1937 Lincoln 12 cylinder (this is not a cheap car).

@Scott Mac Awesome video. You can pick up a few of the street signs towards the beginning I think I saw one that said 38th and then another that said 29th as they were driving north. Guessing Bronzeville based on that! However, like @Jonathan Klemm mentioned, there are 100 year old 2-4 unit flats all over the city!
