Greendale Historic District

The district includes residential buildings with concrete block walls, stucco exteriors, and connected pathways designed for integrated community living in the 1930s.

The federal government established this community in 1935 as part of three Greenbelt towns during the New Deal to provide housing for working-class families.

The Greendale Historical Society maintains archives, artifacts, and documentation of resident stories, offering educational programs about the district's development and community life.

The neighborhood layout features winding roads connecting single-family homes and duplexes, with pedestrian paths that reach parks without crossing major streets.

Underground utility lines, concrete foundations without basements, and wooden beam ceilings characterize the architectural elements of these Depression-era residential structures.
