What the houses are like in Compton Heights

Mostly built: 1890s to 1910s

Large late-Victorian houses on curving private streets, built with stone, heavy millwork, leaded glass and complex roof lines. These are some of the most substantial houses in the city, and the detail work in them is correspondingly demanding.

Grand historic homes where the carpentry and paint prep matter more than the square footage.
