The name Oakenshawe derives from Henry Wilson’s estate, once located in this area. Built between 1916 and 1925 to coordinated designs by brother architects Flournoy and Flournoy, 337 houses were laid out in the manner of the English garden suburbs in “terraces” which employ the design of each dwelling to make larger symmetrical groupings. Georgian Revival building materials were used: red brick, gray slate roofs, wood sash and casement windows. The original advertisement proclaimed that no two houses were exactly alike. Oakenshawe also includes Calvin Avenue. These victorian homes were built 126 years ago. According to the Maryland Historical Society, Calvin Avenue was one of the first, if not the first, integrated streets in the United States. The National Register of Historic Places is a list of properties acknowledged by the Federal government as worthy of preservation for their significance in American history and culture. The National Register is maintained by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior and administered by the National Park Service. In Maryland, the National Register program is administered by the Maryland Historical Trust, the State Historic Preserva- tion Office. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, Division of Historical and Cultural Programs maintain the Maryland Rehabilitation Tax Credits. The Heritage Preservation Tax Credit Program, administered by the Maryland Historical Trust, provides Maryland income tax credits equal to 20% of the qualified capital costs expended in the rehabilitation of a “certified heritage structure.” GHCC History: .
