An aerial photograph of the area ordinance 260705 describes, about 68 acres, with a schematic of its boundaryAn aerial photograph of the area, flown 2022-07-10, with a schematic of the boundary ordinance 260705 describes drawn on top of it — not a survey of the actual line. The ordinance covers about 68 acres generally bounded by Pershing Road on the north, Gillham Road on the east, E. 27th Street on the south, and Main Street on the west. 8 numbered markers correspond to the list below in the same order; 1 confirmed demolition is drawn as a diamond, and 7 establishments whose fate is unannounced are drawn as circles. 4 of these 8 establishments share a building with another on the list, so their markers sit together on one outline. Numbers 5 and 6 are placed where a geocoder puts their street addresses, not on a named building. One outline covers more than one building; its list entry says why.
