Description

The stately homes in this historic neighborhood were constructed from 1850 to 1910, and serve as a reminder of the luxurious Victorian lifestyle of the early 19th century. There are seven beautifully-restored homes lining this block, most of which once belonged to the successful mercantile family, the Bremonds. The entire block is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the only Victorian-era residential blocks in the United States in which all of the homes have been preserved and restored to their original grandeur.
