Redman Avenue
From Brooklyn Centre Wiki
Post-1906 name:
- Redman Avenue
Location:
- Between West 15th St and West 13th St, north of Denison Avenue.
Development:
- 1891 (earliest property transfer), with some limited sales until about 1910. Majority of sales came after 1910.
Named for:
- Said to have been named for the many Indians that lived in the area and with whom the original owner, Ebenezer Foster, was friends. A 1909 deed transferring property from Henry Nehrenz to Mary Nehrenz mentions that the street was originally named Mohawk Street.
Early maps of this street show it extending down to Jennings Avenue. It is unlikely this street ever actually went that far because of the steep incline that existed at the eastern end. A three foot high concrete wall blocked the end of the street at the eastern end.
The State of Ohio bought all properties along Redman Avenue in 1965. Shortly thereafter, all the houses were demolished. This street was then, for all practical purposes, totally eliminated by the Jennings Freeway.
