Excerpt from When Love Speaks Of course there is the other side. To the south of the bluff - especially near the shore, on Fish, Dock, and Lake streets - the view is rather dis mal. Wooden block pavement, put in long ago with too scant foundations and too little of every thing except graft, has gone to wreck. Along the ruined curb are mud-puddles in which broken pieces of the pavement forlornly float. The plank side walks sag. Number 412 Lake Street was once a dwelling of some pretensions. It has a basement - long dis used. A pair of stairs with an iron rail leads from the street up to a front door, once black, with an urn and a dropsical dove in each panel of frosted glass. A mansard roof forms the second story, and gives the appearance of an uncannily swollen head. Two square windows in this upper story look like eyes unpleasantly set in the midst of the bulging brow.
