The Encanto-Palmcroft Historic District is a 208 acre area comprising of portions of four adjoining residential subdivisions, platted in the late 1920's, and an adjacent municipal park, laid out in the mid-1930's. The district is located about one mile northwest of central, downtown Phoenix. The two Palmcroft subdivisions (each 40 acres in size) were laid out in 1927 and 1928. Architecturally, the Encanto and Palmcroft subdivisions both feature prominent examples of Spanish Colonial Revival, Pueblo Revival and Regency Revival styles, as well as other prevalent histortcist styles of the early twentieth century. Each has an identical street plan consisting of a curving cross circumscribed by an interior round-cornered square which, in turn, is contained by a rectilinear square. The Encanto •subdivision was platted in 1928 and is also 40 acres in size. It has a similar street plan, with a rectilinear cross circumscribed by an interior irregular hexagon that is coterminous with the diagonal northern border of the subdivision. The West Encanto Amended subdivision, intended to be identical to Encanto, was developed only along the periphery, and does not feature an unusual street pattern. The curvilinear, highly ordered street plans of Palmcroft and Encanto are dramatically different from the rectilinear grids of the surrounding neighborhoods. In addition to similar innovative street plans, all four subdivisions feature street palms and ornamental light standards. These common features, while unifying each subdivision internally, knit all four together into a distinctive neighborhood different from any other in Phoenix.
