It is also significant for community planning and development, as one of Dublin's earliest and largest neighborhoods with its original street grid. Its landscape architecture is represented by Stubbs Park, designed by Prosper Julius Berckmans, Jr.","narrative":"West of Dublin's downtown, this 435-acre neighborhood grew from a mid-19th-century gridiron of streets, with Bellevue and Academy Avenues as its main thoroughfares. It holds 470 contributing resources, mostly one- and two-story wood and brick houses dating from 1873 to 1952, with most built between the late 1910s and early 1940s. Craftsman bungalows are the dominant type, and several houses use locally distinctive granite blocks. The oldest surviving house, built in 1873, is a Gothic Revival gable-ell dwelling. The district also contains four historic churches, the 1902 Neoclassical Dublin High School (now city hall), a Craftsman women's clubhouse, two early commercial buildings, and the Old Dublin Public Cemetery, begun in 1819. Stubbs Park, about ten acres, was designed by landscape architect Prosper Julius Berckmans, Jr., and built from 1910 on land given by the Stubbs family. The district was recognized for its architecture and for its role in Dublin's early residential development.","period_of_significance":"1873-1952","architect_builder":"Prosper Julius Berckmans, Jr., Landscape Architect (Stubbs Park); Alexander Blair, Architect (Baptist Church); W.T.
