The area originally consisted of a large tract of land outside the city, which was annexed to it in 1906.

Charlotte Street was named for Banks' wife, and he had a handsome estate house built on this land which was designed by Charles L. Thompson, which burned in 1964.

[2] Banks oversaw the gradual development of the area north of his estate, building a collection of modest Craftsman style houses lining Charlotte Street between about 1906 and 1930.

Many of them were built by the same contractor, C. H. Kollman, and the neighborhood presents the most unified appearance of any in the city.
