West Forest Hills Boulevard

Designed by George Watts Carr, Pinecrest was built in 1928 for developer James Cobb, in the western portion of the Forest Hills neighborhood that both men were involved in creating. This and the following photos show the house as it neared completion in early 1928. (Courtesy of James D.B.T. Semans) Pinecrest was purchased by the Duke family in 1934...

Construction began on this house for William Griffin and his family in 1940, although the traditional colonial architecture might suggest it was much earlier. It is, in fact, a revival piece designed by George Watts Carr.

Situated on a slight hill on a large parcel of land overlooking Forest Hills Park, the welcoming Coppridge-Hobart House exemplifies the restful graciousness of the city estate. Built in 1925 for Dr. and Mrs. William Maurice Coppridge, the Tudor Revival home has been lovingly cared for throughout its 87 years. The home has had only three owners, all of whom have been physicians.

Brick 1 1⁄2-story Tudor Cottage with front-gable roof and shed dormers along both side elevations. On the front is a recessed, round-arched entrance and a gabled screened porch. The upper front gable overhangs as a jetty, with a dropped pendant. Other features are a front bay window with 4-over-4 sash, 6-over-6 sash windows, and stuccoed finish on the gable end and shed dormers. Built for the Bass family ~1928.
