In 2003, in a small, nearly private street in Belmont Heights, residents of Eliot Lane sought historic designation to protect the look of 30 homes. This street, Eliot Lane, may be one of the best kept secrets in the Heights. Sitting between 3rd and Colorado, and Argonne and St. Joseph, a stroll through Elliot Lane is like traveling back to the early 1920’s.
The homes are still small – 600 to 900 square feet – and there are seven versions of the popular Spanish Revival or Craftsman Bungalow homes in the tract, all built in 1923 by Boland & Smith. For most of the street’s life it was called “Eliot Court” because it was designed to be pedestrian
