Fourth Avenue
Today we call it Fourth Street. In the late 19th and early 20th Century it was known as 4th Avenue. It was the neighborhood's avenue of public buildings, churches and parks, as well as a prestigious residential street. North of the neighborhood in the downtown area proper, Fourth was the city's main commercial street.
