Convenient access to commercial and cultural activities made the Hill socially desirable during the status-conscious period of 1870-1900. In its earlier years, Heritage Hill had a high concentration of German families, as evidenced by the close proximity of three German-speaking churches. Nearly 160 structures reflect many architectural periods and styles, including Late Victorian, Greek and Gothic Revivals, Italian Villa, Queen Anne and Georgian. www.growburlington.com http://www.burlington.lib.ia.us http://www.burlington.lib.ia.us http://www.growburlington.com
