The buildings in the district reflect a wide diversity of styles and levels of sophistication in their design. While some wood frame examples survive, most are masonry. The oldest surviving residence dates from 1876, and the majority of the buildings were constructed between 1885 and 1890. Examples of the Italianate, Second Empire, Romanesque, Carpenter Gothic, Queen Anne, and Eastlake styles are among those represented. Building types include small and large rowhouses, large single family homes, and small cottages. Located adjacent Denver's early urban core, the district reflects the period in Denver's development when a rapid increase in commercial construction resulted in the need for new residential neighborhoods.
