The historic district along it includes 66 contributing buildings, nearly all houses and outbuildings, built between about 1830 and 1920. Styles include Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Stick and Craftsman, along with house types such as the I-house, Hall-and-Parlor and American Foursquare. Older and larger brick homes sit farther back from the road than later frame houses. Local architect William Cleveland designed or is thought to have designed several of them, among them the Hildebrant, Wire, Wickersham and Brackney houses. Many original owners were local merchants, packers and tradesmen, and many belonged to the Society of Friends. The Jeremiah Durkin House is cited as an outstanding Stick style example. The southern end keeps a rural look, anchored by the Hildebrant House, its barn and open land sloping toward Lytle's Creek.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William Cleveland (architect of several houses, including the Jefferson Hildebrant House and John W.
