This area, with its concentration of brick rowhouses, is typical of urban
residential communities developed during the last three decades of the
19th century. Several pre-Fire of 1871 wooden Worker's Cottages still
survive in the district, while the residences from the 1870s were
designed in an
Italianate style,
with elaborate cornices and window surrounds. The
Queen Anne style, with
its variety of colors, textures, and details, later gained popularity in
the district, followed in the 1880s by the rough-faced stone buildings
of the
Romanesque Revival style. |
