Developer Hugh A. Thrift of the Conservative Realty Company platted it in five sections between 1909 and 1913. Most building took place from 1909 to 1929, though houses from every decade of the twentieth century appear. The primary historic buildings are freestanding single-family homes in Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Tudor Revival styles, built as four-squares, cottages, bungalows, Cape Cods and two-story gable-front houses. The oldest homes cluster along 21st Avenue and 22nd Street North, while Craftsman bungalows became more common on secondary streets from the later 1910s. Some houses were identified as mail-order kits from companies such as Sears, Roebuck & Company. The neighborhood sits on a plateau with a mostly gridded street plan, mature shade trees, uniform setbacks and sidewalks. It was listed as a historic district for its cohesive collection of early suburban housing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Hugh A.
