Named for James J. Squier, who built an estate in the area in the late 19th century, widespread development in Squier Park spanned from the 1880s into the 1920s. Many homes were designed by prominent local architects of the time, such as Louis Curtiss and Nelle E. Peters, and most of their handiwork remains today. Squire Park is full of preserved Craftsman, Prairie school and shirtwaist homes.
