Country Club Park Historic District - 2

Country Club Park Historic District boundaries are roughly Thomas Road on the north to Virginia Avenue on the south, and 8th Street on the west to Dayton Street on the east.

Country Club Park Historic District has a dominant building style of Ranch Style homes with a touch of Provincial Ranch, Art Modern and Spanish style. Architecturally, the district is significant for its intact examples of mid-twentieth century residential building styles and also are reflective of the changes that occurred in construction methods and technologies during World War II.

On average, the homes are in the 1500 square feet with approximately .15 acre lots and with deep setbacks from the street. The homes built under WPB controls tend to be smaller at 1000-1200 square feet and on slightly smaller lots.

The Country Club Park Historic District consists of 142 houses built between 1939 and 1945. Each home in Country Club Park is unique and period street lamps line the streets in this historic neighborhood. Nearly all of these structures are Ranch-style homes and in keeping with the times, most houses have detached garages located on the rear of the lots, or porte cocheres in side yards.

You may notice the lack of sidewalks, an intentional part of the original design for this slimmed-down WW II-era neighborhood. The result is larger front yards (and joggers, dog walkers and cars politely sharing the streets).

Country Club Park Oval lies at the center of the District. That’s what the signs call it, anyway; the neighbors call it Windsor Park. But whatever you call this small public oval, it is a grassy 2-1/2 acres of city park smack in the middle of Windsor Avenue that feels like an extension of the front yards for the neighboring homes. Resident dogs exercise their legs here as do the soccer enthusiasts who gather for Tuesday night matches. Circled with mature shade trees and historic lamp posts, the Oval is a centerpiece for Country Club Park Historic District. And the evening views of the Central Avenue high rises, just half a mile to the west, are exceptional.
