Bella Place
Bella Place, shaped like an "L," formerly boasted nine houses running north from 751 Spruce Street, with a narrow alley connecting to 754 Division Street. A passageway from Spruce Street allowed vehicle entry, while access from Division Street was narrower, designed for pedestrians.
However, as of 2004, Bella Place stands devoid of houses. Access from Division Street is obstructed by a homeowner's gated alleyway.
The sole remnant of Bella Place is a solitary telephone pole between Spruce Street and Division Street, serving the homes that once existed there — two on each end and five on the north side.
