Hmm, Google Earth satellite imagery from 1995 shows the wall.

But it's not there in COA 1984 aerials.

So, sometime between 1984 and 1995 ;)

You might be able to find something about it in old Council minutes. I once found notices for the city's abandoning of the section Baylor St between 9th and 10th. http://g.co/maps/p3trt

Probably to cut down on cut-through traffic, which I suspect the rich have an easier time doing. It's funny...I don't know the history of it...didn't even realize it was there!

Does anyone know when and why Marshall Ln was walled?

Yesterday, for the first time, I learnt that behind that wall on Enfield Rd. there was a perfectly usable street. My first impression is it is there to give more privacy to some rich people, but I don't know.
