Developed from 1914 to 1930, Cedar Crest Addition was the first large planned subdivision in Normal.

Prior to its construction, Normal lacked paved streets and townwide electrical, sewer, and water systems and was considered more a rural area than a proper suburb of Bloomington.

Planner Burt Marley Kuhn and architect Aaron T. Simmons planned the subdivision to be more developed and organized; in particular, it featured tree-lined curvilinear streets inspired by the City Beautiful movement.

Simmons designed many of the houses in the district in the then-popular American Craftsman style, another modern addition to Normal.
