Platted in 1922, it centers on East and West Eastwood Circle, with Overbrook and Collinwood extending to the west. The district holds 86 contributing and 3 noncontributing buildings, mainly modest houses and garages built before 1954 in Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, Bungalow and Ranch forms. Deed restrictions in 1924 required 40-foot setbacks and a minimum house value of $7,000. Ten houses were ordered as Sears, Roebuck & Company kits, beginning with a Dutch Colonial Revival Verona model in 1923; nine of them contribute. Local architect Wilbur M. Firth and his brother Lee designed at least three houses, and similar details suggest more. Builders included Charles E. Dawson and George J. Dell. Street trees were planted together, giving the streets a unified, village-like feel. The area was listed for its cohesive planning and architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Wilbur M. Firth and Lee P. Firth (architects); builders Charles E.
