North Garfield Historic District is an early suburban neighborhood located on the edge of downtown Phoenix, less than a mile northeast of the city center and immediately south of Interstate 10. The district was developed in phases and contains a large number of Craftsman bungalows, period revival styles and pre-war early Ranch styles. The North Garfield Historic District is a long, narrow district approximately 80 acres in size. It contains 304 resources, 88% of which were built during the period of significance (1887 to 1955). Of the total number of resources, 199 (65%) are considered contributing, and 105 (35%) are noncontributing. The district is predominately residential in nature, with 278 single-family houses, ten duplexes, one converted garage apartment, three small residential courts with two matching units each, and eight apartment buildings or complexes. The district also contains one commercial building, two churches, and a rectory. The boundaries of the National Register district correspond to the boundaries of the Phoenix local historic district of the same name. See source for more details.
