[229. View on Bush Street - looking east from Leavenworth street.] Bush Street east of Leavenworth. At far left is 1018 Bush, probably built in 1862 for real estate dealer Barnett Keesing. To its east is a triplex built in 1865, possibly by Keesing. To its east is a row of four Italianate houses built in 1860. Expensive fences and walls provide a protective border between the houses and the muddy street. In the distance is the mansard roofed Denman School. [WK]
