Located on land that remained rural until the early 20th century, the neighborhood consists of many large, free-standing Victorian homes built in the 1900s. The neighborhood was built on farm land originally owned by Catherine Lott. The developer, T.B.

Some of the more remarkable homes include the Guggenheim honeymoon cottage c. 1901 at 305 Rugby Road and , T.B. Ackerson's home built in 1903 at 304 Marlborough Road.
