History and architectural features
The district includes one hundred and thirty-three contributing buildings which are located in the borough of Ivyland. It is primarily a residential district, with a number of buildings representative of Late Victorian styles which date between 1873 and 1931 and reflect Ivyland's development as a planned railroad suburb. The majority of the residential buildings are two-and-one-half-story, frame structures with gable roofs, front porches, and irregular plans. One notable non-residential building is "The Temperance House" hotel (c. 1875).[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
