One of Minneapolis' first master-planned neighborhoods. Originally opened to development in 1908, most residences were built between 1910 and 1930. Marked at most entrances with stone pillars, Homewood's sales covenants restricted the minimum price and various design details of homes, but also segregationist covenants against blacks and Jews. After those were overturned, Homewood later became a primarily well-to-do Jewish enclave before the suburban flight of the 1960s, and is still a highly desirable neighborhood today. Generally considered one of the city's finest collection of Period Revival residential architecture. In 2009, the city's Heritage Preservation Commission shortlisted Homewood as a potential Local Historic District.
