| The Pegfair Estates single-family residential district was owned by Pegfair Estates, Inc. upon its subdivision in January 1961. All but four of the houses in the district were built between 1961 and 1965 (two were built in 1966 and 1967 and two in 1976). Architectural styles are all Modern Ranch, including several that exhibit Japanese/Polynesian influence. Architects that prepared designs for houses in the district include Neptune & Thomas, Harold Levitoff, William Pauli & Heidschmidt & Thomas. The district represents a planned development from the modern period on a small scale and meets registration requirements for the single family residence property type, Ranch House subtype. |
