On the southwest corner of Airmount and Armour is the cottage where Joyce Kilmer lived almost 100 years ago when he wrote his famous poem "Trees." It's a very suburban area but 100 years ago there was probably 1/100th the amount of homes there is now, a much more serene setting.
"The window looked out down a hill, on our well-wooded lawn - trees of many kinds, from mature trees to thin saplings: oaks, maples, black and white birches, and I don't know what else."
