The Strathmore Place Historic District was placed on the National Register on Dec. 17, 1998.

History: Strathmore Place Historic District homes were built along a U-shaped drive off East Parkway North as an isolated residential area that would be protected against the effects of unregulated development and traffic. An earlier example was the Fountain Court Subdivision. Strathmore Place’s plat was first established in March 1917 by real estate agent Ernest C. Cook, who constructed his own home in the district.
