After ages as a Native homestead and a period as farmsteads, a railroad and a trolley line transformed the area into a residential district. With the growth of the university and the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exhibition of 1909, it has become the commercial district along the Ave surrounded by fraternities, sororities, and stately old homes as we know them today. 

Under increased population pressures it faces radical transformation that threatens to efface its human scale and the human history that has made us who we are.
