| Comments: |
| The Belhaven Heights Historic District has local significance in the areas of Community Planning and Development and Architecture (Criteria A and C), with its period of significance extending from c.l856, the construction date of the Boyd House ("The Oaks"), to 1948, the date at which Belhaven Heights as a neighborhood had virtually reached its present borders. The neighborhood's growth eastward from North State Street is easily traced in the progression of its architecture from Queen Anne cottages on North Street, to Colonial and Neoclassical Revival houses on North Jefferson, to bungalows and Tudors on Madison and Whitworth Streets, and finally to Minimal Traditional buildings on Monroe, the most eastern street in the district. The development of the neighborhood from its upper-class beginnings to a more established middle-class area can also be seen in the movement from high-style, large, ornate houses to more scaled-down, less detailed versions of popular national styles. |
