Windsor Square is a 260-home, small residential neighborhood in north central Phoenix, and was considered the first suburb of Phoenix. It is bounded by Camelback Road on the south, Central Avenue on the west, Missouri Avenue on the north and 7th Street on the east.
Windsor Square is significant as a neighborhood that provides evidence of the northern limits of the speculative land development patterns occurring in Phoenix during the late 1920's.
The district contains several excellent examples of Period Revival style architecture and has unique architectural merit due to the concentration of homes built after 1939 and through World War II. The emergence of custom-designed Ranch Houses is particularly notable in Windsor Square.
The Windsor Square Historic Home and Garden Tour allows you to see "Unique Homes and Gardens and Designer-Inspired Decorating Tips" annually. Presented by the Windsor Square Neighborhood Association, the Hme and Garden tour is a self-guided walking tour typically features 12 historic homes and gardens.
Period of Significance was from 1912-1945.
