HISTORY

In 1924, 26-year-old developer Clyde Nelson set out to fulfill his vision of a planned community of Spanish-style homes, fashionable at the time. His Hollywood Land Company paid $109,800 for land that would become "Birmingham's Master Subdivision." Nelson hired Harvard-trained landscape architect Rubee J. Pearse to design the 750-lot neighborhood, laying out roads, green spaces, lot lines, and house placement.

 

Nelson engaged Birmingham architect George P. Turner to design most original residences, including 60-80 Spanish homes and many of Tudor design.
