Bungalow Knolls (1915)


“Bungalow Knolls” (in green) and the conjoining “Giltner–Hallman Addition” (in blue). Map excerpted and tinted from Newman, 1915.

The land north and west of College Heights and Oakwood was platted circa 1915 into “Bungalow Knolls” by Chace Newman, Ward Giltner, and Elam T. Hallman, Associate Professor of Animal Pathology. Bungalow Knolls was created from the remainder of the ten acres that Chace and Emma Newman had purchased to create College Heights in 1904; the Giltner–Hallman Addition was a portion of Oakwood’s Lot 84.*[Newman, 1915. MAC Catalogue (1916), p. 17. Towar, pp. 48–49]

Soon after this, Hickory Court was changed to Hillcrest Avenue, as the cul-de-sac became a street that extended north to Wildwood Drive. The largest undivided areas of the combined plat, labeled “Portion Lot 84” in the map above as a remnant of Oakwood, were later platted into the “Elm-Dale” subdivision and Baldwin Court.[Newman, 1915. Sanborn (1926), p. 276]
