Lyon Park Historic District
Lyon Park Historic District, Historic residential district in Arlington County, Virginia.
The Lyon Park Historic District encompasses 1,165 contributing buildings across 284 acres of tree-lined residential streets in northern Arlington County.
Frank Lyon established this residential development in 1919 by subdividing 300 acres into 1,200 building lots, marking a new era of suburban growth.
The neighborhood contains the largest collection of Colonial Revival architecture in Arlington County, with houses built between the First and Second World Wars.
