Summary
Newberry Boulevard was the first in a series of boulevard streets that were planned as linkages between municipal parks. Built between 1896 and 1932, these one hundred middle-class homes are unified by their orientation to a broad beautifully landscaped esplanade. The district includes outstanding examples of the residential design work of the city's leading early 20th century architects.
