Its curvilinear streets follow the contours of Wade Park to the south. The district contains 432 contributing buildings, mostly single and two-family houses with matching garages built in the same styles. Most date from about 1904 to the early 1920s. The largest houses stand nearest Wade Park and University Circle along Magnolia Drive and Wade Park Avenue, while smaller houses and two-family dwellings line Ashbury Avenue and the cross streets from East 105th to East 108th. Styles include Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Jacobethan, Craftsman and Spanish Revival. Many architects and builders worked here, among them Abram Garfield, J. Milton Dyer, Charles Schweinfurth and Hubbell & Benes. Seven noncontributing buildings include a 1983 library, a service station and a church, all built after the main period of development. Some houses have new siding, but they keep a compatible scale, height and setback.
