  1. I see this on Google Maps all the time and wondered if anyone knows what Phifer Heights is?Screenshot_20190427-110502_Maps.thumb.jpg.d504901acab03a13cc139d5e62834729.jpg&key=209c1178846b71300252763702b04ce503a3b42465e0bee12b8532be563cd062

     

     

     

    Here is a link regarding the history of the area including Pfifer heights: http://www.cmhpf.org/kids/neighborhoods/belmont-et-al.html

     

    And finally in 1910, the last section of the survey area was laid out. Called Phifer Heights, the small tract included the 1800 block of McDowell Street and the 1800 block of Seigle Avenue (originally Springs Street) just north of Parkwood Avenue. 39 At the heart of the subdivision was a small hillside park with a spring at its center, surrounded by a narrow curving Park Drive. The greenspace was to be called Cordelia Park, probably after W.F. Phifer's stepdaughter Cordelia White. It is the antecedent of today's Cordelia Park, a large city-owned park that includes the site of the original spring.
