Ledge Road borders on the well-to-do “Hill” section of Burlington and the residents of the homes in this view fit into that trend. The first house on the left, #16, built in 1921, was owned by Fred Brainerd who was Assistant Treasurer for Queen City Cotton. Moving up further are two nearly identical houses, #30 and #38, both built in 1926. These were occupied by Percy Ballard, general agent for P.L. Ballard Insurance Service and William Carr, a manager for General Ice Cream Corp. The building to the far left is identified at the South End Filling Station.(1)

The houses in this view are still existing and have undergone few changes. However, the South End Service Station has been lost, replaced with a more modern gas station and garage.
