Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The Newlands Heights Historic District comprises a 171-acre, primarily residential area in southwest Reno. The neighborhood is located on a bluff rising from the south bank of the Truckee River. The topography remains largely natural and features a blend of steep and gentle hills in addition to flat areas. The neighborhood is characterized by a park-like setting with a combination of curvilinear and rectilinear streets lined with mature trees. It is an amalgam of six different subdivisions: those in the south and west flatlands of the district are laid out in gridiron and rectilinear blocks, whereas the north and east portions are laid out according to the sloping topography and irregular rim of the river bluff. Newlands Heights features a large concentration of Late-19th century to Mid-20th century single- family dwellings, as well as multi-family dwellings in the form of duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. Other contributing resources include landscape elements, among which are masonry pillars, a circular park, and a stone memorial tablet. The area remains largely residential, although many dwellings along Arlington Avenue, California Avenue, Clay Street, Court Street, and Ridge Street have been converted to commercial and professional use. The majority of Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Newlands Heights Historic District Washoe, Nevada Name of Property County and State district resources are constructed with brick, stone, or wood and express a variety of architectural styles. Period Revival, Craftsman, and Ranch style homes are most common, although Contemporary, Minimal Traditional, Prairie School, and Queen Anne styles are also represented. The development of the area began along the northernmost streets, including Court, Ridge, and Marsh, and as a result, the oldest homes in the area are concentrated in the northeast portion of the district. As Reno grew, the Newlands neighborhood expanded to the south and west, which is evidenced by the southwestward transition from decorative brick Craftsman bungalows and Period Revival cottages on small lots with shallow setbacks toward the northeast to an increasing number of Ranch and Contemporary style residences with driveways and garages on sprawling lots toward the southwest. Large mansions, the majority of which were constructed along Court Street and on the north side of California Avenue between the 1890s and 1940s, form the northern boundary of the district. Large homes also line the north side of Marsh Avenue as it curves to the southeast. The eastern edge of the district features small cottages and bungalows, as does the southern boundary. The remainder of the district features a mixture of large and small residences. The district exhibits palpable change over time with its seamless combination of streetcar, early automobile, and postwar-era suburban design influenced by the City Beautiful, Garden City, Arts and Crafts, and Modern movements. A number of locally and nationally prominent architects, including Frederic Delongchamps and Paul Revere Williams, designed homes in the area. The district as a whole retains excellent integrity in terms of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, as 488 (80%) of 610 total resources contribute to the area’s historic character. ____________________________________________________________________________
