Highland Heights-Stevens` Subdivision Historic District

The Highland Heights-Stevens' Subdivision Historic District is a neighborhood of single-family, detached homes lining parallel urban-suburban streets in Highland Park, a city entirely surrounded by the city of Detroit. The district contains 422 single-family homes, two apartment buildings, the McGregor Library, and five commercial buildings, of which 392 single-family houses, the two apartment buildings, and the library are classified as contributing to the district's historic character. The houses are excellent examples of the variety found in American suburban domestic architecture of the period 1900-1930. Foursquares, bungalows, and examples of various revival styles of the early twentieth-century are present. The district also contains 393 garages, all located along alleys which cut through the centers of the blocks. All but twenty appear to date from the era of the district's development and reflect the suburban, upwardly mobile, middle-class, historic character of the neighborhood.
