In 1928, Jackson developer Lucius L. Mayes converted six acres of rugged terrain into a residential development of fully furnished, up-to-date homes with similar color schemes but in a variety of architectural styles. A grand entranceway, created by sculptor Joseph Barras, was highlighted by columns adorned with statues of Pan and a wood nymph to enhance the mythical theme of the neighborhood. This beautiful sylvan setting eventually became the western boundary of Laurel Street Park.
