Avondale: Lenox to Dakota

These fantastic houses are located along Redway Avenue from the corner of Lennox Place to Dakota Avenue. Part of this part of North Avondale was platted by the Robert Mitchell family in the 1890’s, who also platted the Rose Hill subdivision about the same time. Son Richard Mitchell lived at 3 Burton Lane, now the New School. His brother Albert later lived in Rose Hill. (In a ‘Behind the Asphalt’ way, Mitchell Avenue is named after this family.)
