Most of the neighborhood's early residents were working-class and middle-class German immigrants and their families. The district's buildings are mainly one- and two-story brick buildings, and as the majority were built by individual property owners, they feature a wide variety of styles and shapes; the architectural styles used in the district include Spanish Colonial Revival, Romanesque Revival, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire.
