History and notable features
editNarbrook Park Historic District encompasses fifty-one contributing buildings, one contributing structure and one contributing site that are located in the planned garden suburb of Narbrook Park. Developed between 1915 and 1938, the dwellings here reflect a number of popular architectural styles, primarily Bungalow/American Craftsman and Dutch Colonial Revival. The community features thirty-five detached houses and dedicated open space.[2]
Narbrook Park is owned by the Narbrook Park Improvement Association ("NPIA"), a Pennsylvania member corporation composed of dues-paying residents of Narbrook Park. The Park's residents, through NPIA, are solely responsible for Narbrook Park's funding, maintenance and upkeep.
