It takes in parts of Boone Road, Chestnut Street, Glovenia Street and Highland Drive. Most of its forty houses went up between about 1895 and 1935, first under the Spray Water Power and Land Company and later under Marshall Field and Company, which housed mill officials and other townspeople here. The mostly frame buildings show a wide range of fashionable styles: two-story I-houses with triple-A rooflines, ornate Queen Anne residences, Foursquares, bungalows, and Colonial, Tudor and Dutch Colonial Revival homes. Ridgecroft, built in 1902, is cited as an outstanding early Colonial Revival example. Houses here are well cared for and largely free of the replacement siding and windows common in other Eden neighborhoods. Only a few non-contributing buildings, including a remodelled house now used as a funeral home, interrupt its early twentieth century character.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"James W.
