Ok, I know where you are talking about. That is where the old ice plant used to be. My son lives 2 doors up from the gravel parking lot. I was told today by someone very knowledgable that the lots were suppose to be for gardening only but later people built on them. Some of them had to be petitioned to the city government before they could be released and built on. Now the house my son lives on has a steep bank, I have never been down to the water's edge, of course now would be a whole lot of difference than then when the river and its edge was farther out. I will keep my ear's open and eye's looking for information on the garden lots, but I can remember my father saying that some people owned from their house on the other side of first ave to river which would include the garden lot.
