The exclusive neighborhood of 20 elaborate mansions and carriage houses was part of an early city plan to create landscaped boulevards which link major parks, resulting in a distinctive residential neighborhood. Built between 1895 and 1925, the district was home to wealthy German-American businessmen, and the formal architectural styles often incorporated German Renaissance Revival motifs. |
