History

The North University Park area was subdivided between 1885 and 1901.[2] The Miller and Herriott House, which is still standing, is believed to have been a model house used by the developers to attract potential buyers.[3] The area boomed further when the street cars from downtown reached the area in 1891.[4] In 1892, the widow of Gen. John C. Fremont, Jessie Benton Fremont, was living in the district at 1107 West 28th Street; she remained in the house until 1902.[5] The district was also the birthplace of Adlai Stevenson, who was born in the house at 2639 Monmouth Avenue in 1900.[6]
