Details: Catlin Court Historic Home Tour - Focus on Tim Quin's Home. ABOUT THE CATLIN COURT DISTRICT ---- On January 2, 1914, Otto R. Hansen and his wife, Mae Catlin Hansen, filed with the Township of Glendale, the subdivision still known today as Catlin Court. The area is from the center of Myrtle Avenue (Harrison Street) traveling North to the center of Orangewood Drive (Cleveland Street). The East and West boundaries are from the center of 59th Avenue (Meridian Street) to the center of 55th Drive (Seventh Avenue). ---- Growth and development of this area thrived from 1917 to the 1930's. Many of the home designs came out of the plan book "Ye Planry." Therefore, the prominent architectural style of the time was the Craftsman Bungalow. Later in the 1920's and the 1930's the Spanish Eclectic and Minimal Traditional style architectures where introduced to the area. ---- This was one of the earliest, fashionable neighborhoods in the township of Glendale. Many of the former mayors, wealthy merchants, doctors, reverends, builders and educators lived in these homes.
