The subdivision is laid out on a standard urban grid of narrow, deep lots with <br />rear alleys. Houses are built to a fairly consistent setback line along the streets with small front lawns, deep <br />rear yards and mature landscaping. Small, carefully maintained single-family residences predominate. Most of <br />the houses are wood framed, one or one and one-half stories in height, featuring white or light-colored <br />horizontal wood or steel siding, gabled or hipped asphalt shingled roofs and front porches. While many of the <br />houses have been modified over the years, most of the historic character-defining features have been <br />preserved.
