- Description
- The Peacock Lane Historic District is considered significant for its relationship to community planning and development as an excellent and unique example of a planned community and early automobile suburb designed by a single developer, Richard F. Wassell. It was designed in the early 1920s using the English Cottage and Tudor Revival styles as a common architectural theme to create a village-like setting. The design of each house on the street is unique and was also unusual at the time for incorporating a garage. Most of the houses in the Peacock Lane Historic District were also designed by Richard Wassell. The architecture of the district is cohesive without being repetitive, an uncommon trend in the 1920s. The period of significance begins in 1923 with the erection of the first building, and continues to 1930 with the construction of the last building.
