Four blocks of the northern reaches of Little Italy, from a 1917 land map. Pink indicates masonry (brick) structures; yellow indicates wooden ones.

Most of the masonry buildings depicted still exist, though their uses may have changed.

The large Hawley & Hoops structure at the left edge of the map, formerly the site of commercial manufacturing, now harbors million-dollar condominiums. The Ferris Provision House and the Industrial School have similarly been converted to residential use.
