South Midwood Queen Anne With Porch, Parking Asks $3.5 MillionNot sure why you believe that the South Midwood designation is incorrect. Please explain. It was called that in the 1930's the my grandparents purchased their house there and is still currently referred to as such. It has one of the oldest neighborhood associations in the city dating back to 1901. Do a search on FultonHistory.com for the term and you will receive no shortage of results dating back to 1900.
