The detail on the left wall highlights the street life of an active neighborhood. A child on a bike, friends greeting each other, an Addison High School student waiting for friends, customers coming and going from vibrant businesses. 1958 (East Side of Henry Street) shows the heart of Roanoke’s oldest neighborhood.
