Philadelphia Register of Historic Places (2009) - East Falls Historic District includes 210 speculative Tudor revival residential properties of the parallel 3400 blocks of Midvale Avenue, West Penn Street, and West Queen Lane.
Michael J. McCrudden developed these three blocks in the then-popular Tudor revival style between the years 1925 and 1931. Unlike many of the earlier row house developments in East Falls, these blocks were developed with a sylvan, suburban feel that was created in large part by: a significant number of trees, a uniform house line, front gardens afforded by setbacks, continuity of these gardens, a lack of front property-line fences, extensive use of fieldstone garden walls, and garages located in and accessed from the rear of the properties.
