Description:
Located at 139-161 James St., the Biggs Terrace is a fine example of the evisceration of the the South Point Douglas neighborhood, and the decline of nearby Main Street, beginning in the mid 20th century. The new zoning regulations that came into being in 1947 deemed terrace houses like this to be undesirable, and illegal to build, and hard to maintain or sell. This photo was taken one year later, in 1948. Some time in the 1960's, the Biggs gave way to a gravel parking lot.
In such close proximity to the Exchange District and the exclusive Waterfront Drive, the Biggs Terrace would have made for fashionable townhouses today.
