Fewer things are more captivating than the Washington Park Historic District. The homes from the turn of the century range from quaint to expansive and vary greatly in styles, but they're all a sight to behold.
On evenly numbered years, they do a home tour during the holiday season when all of the homes are decorated.
Some of the homes have been turned into multi-family units, but a large number remain single-family homes with many of them restored with careful attention to period detail.
The Washington Park Association is the main gathering of residents in the district to discuss issues and share ideas and resources. My own home is not in the district, but from the same era as many of those homes--so I have occasionally turned to them for potential restoration resources.
And someone put up photos of many of the district homes... take a look!
The district is located in the area of town between Grove Street and West End Avenue, south of Greenbrook Road; and is marked with signs that note when you enter the district.
