About Windsor Square District – The 260-home Historic District, bordered by Central Avenue and Seventh Street, Pasadena Avenue and Oregon Avenue, was considered the first suburb of Phoenix. Started in 1929, the curvy development with charming homes was created during a time where the population of Phoenix was 70,000 people and the trolley line ended at Thomas Road.

(The photos don’t do this tour justice – I didn’t even get a chance to take photos of the interior and garden masterpieces we saw! – too busy gawking!)
