The district spans 40 acres and features Federal, Greek Revival, Islamic Revival, Italian Villa, Late Victorian Italianate, Second Empire, and Queen Anne style buildings.
Development started in 1820s when ship captains and wholesale grocers built houses near their businesses, transforming farmland into a residential neighborhood.
