  • “The Village Beautiful”
    “THE VILLAGE BEAUTIFUL” What got constructed… What didn’t get built… What else got erected… Introduction… “The Village Beautiful” was a slogan adopted by the Hilton Civic League when it was organized in 1919. The story of Hilton Village’s rapid construction the year before is well documented elsewhere and is also nicely summarized by this historical marker, located near the intersection of Warwick Boulevard and Main Street. Less well known is what was originally contemplated…and what was not…in the concept’s innovative design. Several major features of the master plan for Hilton Village were never realized. Others were modified during and shortly after the 1918 construction period. Plus, there were also a few unplanned additions made during this bedroom community’s first few years. Over the nine-plus decades of Hilton Village’s existence, many far-reaching changes have been realized, resulting in a somewhat eclectic mix of structures. The original homes, both modified and unchanged, still stand, for the most part. But they are now surrounded by numerous businesses and public service facilities. All together, Hilton now exhibits a wide range of architectural styles never contemplated by the Village’s planners and architects. The following pages provide a descriptive overview of the portions of the original master plan that were realized, plus a discussion of several additions, modifications and deletions that were made during the community’s first decade. 2 What was planned… The original plan for Hilton Village, which was at first referred to as ‘an industrial housing development’ included much more than just residences, as many housing projects just did that were later created.
