South Fourteenth Street from South Orange Avenue to Avon
Avenue. Edward Keogh was awarded a contract to fill in the swampy
area. The contract called for 26,000 cubic yards of filling, over
38,000 yards were paid for and no one knows how many thousands more
were actually used. It is said that Edward Keogh lost his entire fortune
filling in the bog. You can locate this area from the information
above on the 1904 map.
