One part of the neighborhood, Hamilton Park, begun in 1853 by Charles Kennedy Hamilton, was developed as a planned community following the romantic precepts of Andrew Jackson Downing.

Originally completed in 1881 by Louis C. Tiffany, Associated Artists, it is a fantasia of design from Islamic to Chinese to Persian that was hidden for decades under brown paint and bad repairs. Now its sparkling Tiffany windows, blue glass mosaic tiles, and California redwood ceiling can be appreciated again.
