It was platted as Wolflin Place in 1923 and 1926 and as Wolflin Estates in 1927. Brick period revival houses of the 1920s and 1930s dominate, with Tudor Revival the most common style, alongside Spanish Colonial Revival, Colonial Revival, Classical Revival and Craftsman-inspired bungalows. The layout moves from a rectangular grid in the earlier section to curving streets in the later one. Red brick streets, concrete curbs and rows of Siberian Elms survive. Developers used deed restrictions, minimum construction costs and brick or stucco requirements to guarantee quality in the absence of zoning. The 1926 Wolflin School, designed by Emmett F. Rittenberry, anchored the neighborhood. Growth followed Amarillo's oil-driven population surge of the 1920s. The district was listed for its architecture and its role in community planning and development, and 388 of its 601 resources contribute to its character.","period_of_significance":"1923-1945","architect_builder":"Hare and Hare (Landscape Architects); Brott, C.W.
