About Kenwood:
-
The area now known as Kenwood was claimed in the Cherokee Strip Land run by Maurice Wogan and N.E. Sisson. Sisson later dismissed his claim. Kenwood was platted on April 16, 1894. Wogan improved the land under the "ten dollar act", which allowed improvement of the land for townsite purposes without a five year residency.
-
In 1895 the land was sold to the Kenwood Land and Development Company, Harrison Lee and W.O. Cromwell, owners. The lots were sold for as low as twenty-five dollars apiece. Kenwood was a very modern neighborhood complete with street car service and an outdoor theatre, The Delmar Gardens.
-
The Kenwood District includes eleven blocks of residential homes just northwest of the downtown Enid area. A flat neighborhood with wide streets and wide sidewalks, it is highly pedestrian-friendly.
-
The Kenwood Distict includes ninety-five buildings, most of which are residential in nature. Most of the properties were built between 1895 and 1935. The two most predominant styles in the neighborhood are Prairie School American Foursquares and Craftsman Bungalows.
-
These homes feature most of the typical details of their individual schools. All have porches with composite posts. Most of the Prairie School homes feature flattened, pagoda-style eaves while all of the Craftsman homes feature exposed beam ends. Other styles included National Folk homes of the Gable and Front Wing subset, Folk Victorian, Shingle, Tudor Revival, and Neoclassical homes.
