History

With the continued outward expansion of Roanoke resulting from the completion of the Salem-Melrose streetcar line in the 1890s, by the 1920s this outward residential expansion reached the Loudon-Melrose area.^[2] The residential design of the neighborhood is dominated by the two-story foursquare, constructed during the 1920s-1930s.^[3]
