It was platted in 1909 by the Leicht Real Estate Company and built up mainly between 1909 and 1941.","why_significant":"The nomination argues Winona is significant under Criterion A as a planned community that served Norfolk's growing middle- to upper-class suburban population in the early 20th century. It is significant under Criterion C for its concentration of high-style architecture and, as the market shifted, more modest, less ornate housing.","narrative":"Winona is a small residential neighborhood on the east bank of the Lafayette River in Norfolk, Virginia. Platted in 1909 by the Leicht Real Estate Company, it was laid out with curving, tree-lined streets, small parks and waterfront lots, and offered paved roads, sidewalks, a concrete sea wall, utilities and streetcar access. About 24 houses went up between 1909 and 1915, mostly Colonial Revival, Queen Anne and Classical Revival homes for well-off buyers. A second wave from 1916 to 1941, driven by workers arriving at the port during the First World War, added about 117 buildings, many of them smaller Colonial Revival houses, Craftsman bungalows and four-squares. A few Spanish-inspired and Cape Cod houses also appear. The district holds 203 contributing resources. It was recognized as a planned suburb serving Norfolk's growing middle and upper classes, and for its mix of high-style and more modest early twentieth-century architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Jacob Leicht (original developer, who built 1419 Huntington Crescent); plan based on drawings by civil engineer C.F.
