Development for the original residential properties had started sometime in 1880 and continued to 1930, with the most construction invoked by the Florida boom in 1910.[3] The oldest part of the neighborhood is on the King Street, which then sprawled eastbound.[3] Architectural style reflecting the boom includes bungalows, contrasted to the Queen Anne Revival style on the older streets including the King.[3]
