A Pair of Doubles Along Julian Avenue
In August of 1936, Edward and Georgia May Lollis purchased two doubles at 5866-68 and 5872-74 Julian Avenue. The couple had moved down the block into 5919 Julian Avenue, but by 1941 they decided to settle into 5866 Julian Avenue to free up money for future investments. Mr. Lollis was particularly interested in purchasing farmland in a nearby county. The backyards of the two doubles were quite deep so young Ted, the son of Edward and Georgia May, and his playmates had plenty of room for adventures. The backyards of the doubles abutted an empty lot with a small pond along East Washington Street in what would later be the site of the Mohawk Manor and now the Irvington Lofts. Eventually, Mr. and Mrs. Lollis sold 5866-68 to Otis Becker and moved into 5872 Julian Avenue.
