Mount Washington is most famous for the view from Grandview Avenue. Many
tourists who ride the incline up the hill for the view never realize that
there's an old working-class neighborhood just behind the flashy condos
that line Grandview.
Rowhouses are common in Mount Washington. The street in front of this particular
row is nothing but a stairway.
The tallest building on Mount Washington is the Trimont, a tower of luxurious
condominium apartments and offices just across Grandview Avenue from Mount
Washington's expensive Restaurant Row.
The only old building left in the block now occupied by the Trimont is
this wedge-shaped beer distributor--quite different in both size and class
from its mammoth neighbor.
