The story of the Windsor Square Historic District
How the area came to be.
Windsor Square was platted in 1929 by Owens-Dinmore and formally opened on February 24, 1929; the district also includes parts of the earlier Lamson subdivision (1913) and Cuesta Vista (1944) on its northern edge. Only about six homes were finished or underway before the October 1929 crash, the developer went bankrupt, and lots were auctioned by March 1930.
Building picked up again in 1939 (including a Lescher and Mahoney designed home at 5053 N 6th St) and most remaining lots filled in the late 1940s. The city designated it in July 1996 and it was listed on the National Register in 2000.

Before you buy
Properties inside a City of Phoenix HP overlay district need Historic Preservation review (a Certificate of Appropriateness) for most exterior work, new construction and demolition; interior work is generally not reviewed. Confirm the specific parcel is inside the HP overlay and whether it is contributing. Phoenix requires short term rental permits under its own ordinance; state law limits how far cities can restrict STRs. Older homes: check for original electrical, cast iron or clay sewer laterals, and irrigation rights (SRP flood irrigation is common in central Phoenix historic neighborhoods). All of this is address specific. Also covered by the Windsor Square Neighborhood Special Planning District (zoning overlays layer, case 173-86).
