Pond Street was developed with the street’s confluence with what had once been a popular gathering spot, Friedheim’s Pond. Hence the name of the street, Pond Street.
City Directories and History: This handsome two story home in the African-American area of Pond Street was constructed in the early 20th century.
The Yorkville Enquirer of Sept. 13, 1893 took an item from the RH News which stated, “on the north side of the CC&A Railroad track, near its southern entrance into town, behind some cottages occupied by African Americans, is the private park of Mr. Julius Friedheim. It is familiarly known as the “Pond.” It has a little lake in the center with several varieties of fish, neatly kept walks, and a green sward, of grass with five deer.” *** This is possibly the source of the current name for Pond Street, found nearby this location.
