Mexican War Streets

These streets are so called because they were named for the battles and generals of that war by the original developer in 1848. Today they are notable for fine examples of the restoration of old urban homes. The neighborhood has a dedicated website Mexicanwarstreets.org and holds annual house tours which bring in tourists from surrounding states. Neighbors celebrate the unique architectural heritage here in a neighborhood some could compare to Boston’s Beacon Hill or Greenwich Village, without the million dollar price tag.
