Historic Homes Project
Riverside’s largest growth period was between 1900 and 1910, so our neighborhood and it’s homes are teeming with history.
The historic homes project is about gathering information on historic homes within the Riverside neighborhood.
If you've done research on the history of your house, please email us
the information along with a photo or two and we
will document it here on our website.
Historic Overlay Zone
City Council approved a Historic Overlay Zone for the Riverside Neighborhood on November 19, 2008. A Historic Overlay Zone is a defined area in which special design
guidelines and standards apply to preserve the historic character of buildings and the neighborhood. New developments and new additions to existing buildings in the
overlay will be reviewed for compliance with the guidelines and standards.
The Riverside Historic Overlay will include Virginia and Baker Avenues from Everett Avenue to 19th Street; and the south side of 19th Street, Victor Place, Leonard Drive,
and the north side of 21st Street from Baker Avenue to Walnut Street.
