WESTMINSTER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN<br />
Traditional neighborhoods in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Petersburg</strong> were platted in the early 1920s. The Construction Boom map<br />
below shows the number <strong>of</strong> existing homes by the decade they were built. This is useful in giving an indication<br />
<strong>of</strong> when construction activity peaked and ebbed. During the 1930s, growth slowed down because <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Depression, but in the 1940s, another major construction boom was indicated by the 64 homes that are still<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> neighborhood’s housing stock. The 1950s were the largest housing boom in<br />
the area to date with 291 homes existing. Construction continued in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with 19, 23,<br />
and 9 homes. Given that most all the land has been developed earlier, only 22 homes have been built over the<br />
past 12 years (see Construction Boom map).<br />
