Waterloo's Walnut Neighborhood

Here's another book (more like a booklet) that I found while remodeling the second floor. Walnut Neighborhood is a book about the historic section of Waterloo bordered by Franklin Street, East Fourth Street, Dane Street, and Highway 63. According to this book, there are about sixty homes dating back to the early 20th century in this neighborhood.

There are eighteen residents interviewed in this book. This is the kind of book I like to read - the writing is very easygoing and homey. Throughout the book, there are wonderful prints done by youth who were members of the Boys and Girls Club or knew the people interviewed.

I have a special attachment to this book since I used to live at Walnut Court Apartments, which is within this district.
