The period of significance begins in 1882 with construction of the earliest surviving building in the district, and extends to 1961, when the active period of construction in the district ceased. The contributing homes and secondary buildings that make up the Jackson Boulevard Historic District provide clear insight into the prominence and diversity of their owners through their level of architectural design and varying styles.
