"It was an industrial-mercantile district with a strikingly emphatic character of sober utility." &quot;The spirit of the time, the mechanism of economics, had not spared our city, either, and it had put down greedy roots on the patch that was its periphery, where it developed into a parasitic quarter.

While in the old city there still reigned a nocturnal, illicit trade, full of a solemn ceremoniousness, in this new quarter there had immediately developed modern, sober forms of commercialism. Pseudo-Americanism, grafted onto the old, moldy ground of the city, here exploded as the luxuriant, but empty and colorless, vegetation of a tawdry, shoddy pretentiousness. Cheap, poorly constructed apartment houses with grotesque facades, covered with monstrous stuccowork made of cracked gypsum, could be seen there. Crooked old suburban cottages received hastily patched-together portals that only upon closer inspection were unmasked as miserable imitations of metropolitan installations. Defective, blurry, and dirty windows, distorting in wavering refractions a dark reflection of the street, the unfinished wood of the doors, the gray atmosphere of those barren interiors, depositing spiderwebs and clumps of dust on high shelves and shabby, crumbling walls, imprinted on the shops here the stamp of a wild Klondike.&quot;
