It was platted in 1913 as the Rosemont Crest Addition and built up from 1915 into the late 1930s.","why_significant":"The district is significant locally under Criterion C for architecture. Its bungalows and four-square houses show craftsman and Prairie School-inspired detailing, and it is described as one of the best preserved early 20th century subdivisions of houses and associated commercial buildings in Oak Cliff. It also reflects the shift from streetcar-based suburbs to automobile-oriented growth.","narrative":"Rosemont Crest is a 33-acre neighborhood in Oak Cliff, Dallas, laid out in 1913 by the Allen Stemmons Company as a middle class addition near the Fort Worth interurban line on Jefferson Avenue. Most of its 86 properties are one- and two-story frame bungalows and four-square houses built between 1915 and the late 1930s, with a row of one-part commercial brick buildings facing West Jefferson Boulevard. Craftsman and Prairie School-inspired details appear throughout, including exposed rafters, square or slender porch columns on brick piers, and an example of an airplane bungalow with a sleeping alcove. The district was listed for architecture because it is among the best preserved early 20th century subdivisions in Oak Cliff and keeps a cohesive character. It also illustrates the change from streetcar suburbs to automobile-era growth after the 1912 viaduct opened. Seventy-four properties contribute to its character, while some commercial buildings have been altered.","period_of_significance":"c.1915-1944","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Bungalow; also Four-square and One-part commercial block","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Houses and shops remain in residential and commercial use.
