If you are a recent arrival to Lyon Park, you might be shocked to learn that our neighborhood is on the National Register of Historic Places!  The district was developed by Frank Lyon between 1919 and 1951 and originally included a variety of architectural styles, including Craftsman, Colonial Revival, American Four Square, Tudor Revival, Spanish Mission, and Queen Anne. 

Have you ever visited a historic town and dreamed of having a historic house plaque adorn your home, similar to those found in Williamsburg, Philadelphia, or Gettysburg? If so, the September LPCA meeting is the place to be, as we unveil our research into a historic plaque program. Join our discussion as we share our research on materials, costs, examples, and help us shape the guidelines for what the qualifications for inclusion for such a program would look like.
