The district was built in 1904 in imitation of the rowhouse style of London.

He was inspired to build Alta Vista Terrace after a trip to Europe, in which he looked at the row houses of London.

Some of the features included Doric and Ionic wood pilasters, Gothic arches, Palladian windows, stained and leaded-glass fanlights, bay and bow windows, and various decorative woodwork.
