Funded by Cincinnati philanthropist Mary Emery and guided by her advisor Charles Livingood, it was meant to ease the housing shortage after World War I and to serve as a national model for working-class neighborhoods. Wooster Pike forms its spine, while radiating avenues, curving streets, a central square with a fountain, and extensive parks give the plan both formal and informal elements. Housing includes attached groups, apartments, duplexes and detached homes, mostly in Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival styles, designed by architects from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Cincinnati. The district has 1,014 contributing resources dating from 1920 to 1962. It was listed because it is the most complete and intact example of Nolen's work and a premier American garden-city suburb, with street layouts unchanged from the 1921 plan.","period_of_significance":"1920-1962","architect_builder":"John Nolen (town planner) with Philip W.
