Historic

Architectural Styles

• Most homes in the East End, from the turn of the century through the 40’s, were
  designed based on historic/traditional styles.


• There are very few “pure” examples of historical styles. Most homes constructed
  were builder/developer homes, and the various historic styles popular at the time
  were adapted and modified by the builder in response to the demands of the
  homeowners’ of the time, and expedient methods of construction.


• Styles found in the neighborhood include: Queen Anne (Victorian), American
  foursquare, Georgian revival, Tudor revival, Craftsman/Bungalow style, along with a
  few examples of Beaux Arts and Spanish Colonial. Many homes/apartments can’t
  be categorized easily, and are probably best defined as “traditional”, having a
  blend of many historical characteristics.


• The neighborhood also has a number of unique homes and apartments by Fredrick
  G. Scheibler(who evolved an idiosyncratic personal style based on English Arts and
  Crafts and Viennese Secessionist influences), and Craftsman-influenced homes by
  the developer E. B. Hulley(the popular and distinctive Hulleyhouses).
