Over nearly 140 years, the massive Blair Flats complex has dominated the Selby-Western intersection. With a handful of names and multiple owners (especially in the past few decades), the buildings have seen many ups and downs, from the early years as the stylish home to many of the area's elite to a less-desirable role as "a bleak monument to urban decay" in the 1960s and 1970s. Efforts to restore the complex and welcome back residents and businesses have returned the Frank Blair buildings to much of their former glory. We'll look into the architect, origins, owners, and famous residents as we trace the story of the complex to its beginnings in the 1880s.
