The houses include townhouses in the Italianate style, Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Venetian Gothic. Many streets, including Green Street and Spring Garden Street, include "terraced" set ups, which include a small gardened plot, often raised, in front of the house.^[2] The residential areas to the south are dominated by taller, multi-family buildings built during the 20th century.
