line parts of its streets. Also, the entire area is filled with historic
homes of all types and architectural styles. Victorian, Colonial and Greek
Revival styles are represented, as well as other 18th century structures.
Paradise Avenue, Berkeley Avenue, Wyatt Road, Mitchell's Lane, Wapping
Road, Peckham Avenue, Indian Avenue and Hanging Rock Road make up the
