The Southern Turf

I will try to get a pic soon of what these buildings look like in the year 2000.
The Southern Turf
In 1895 a nationally famous bookmaker named Marcus Cartwright erected the Southern Turf Saloon at 212 Fourth Avenue North. He filled it with mirrors, bronze statues, rare paintings and maghogany furnishings and served only the finest spirits and cigars. The structure is still standing, along with two other buildings of the same time period - The Climax Saloon (at 210 Fourth Avenue North) and the Utopia Hotel (at 206 Fourth Avenue North).
