CELEBRATING OUR FIRST 100 YEARS
The Yalecrest neighborhood is locally significant both architecturally and historically, and in 2007 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The earliest Yalecrest residents began to appear in the 1870s as families farming five-acre plots. Beginning in the 1910s through the 1940s developers platted 22 subdivisions. The Period Revival styles built during this time reflected buildings returning WWI soldiers had seen overseas. This architectural variety and concentration is unparalleled in the state.
