The Broadmoor Constructed in......Class of 1939

1939, a year that stands out in the 1930s. One of the best years ever for Hollywood Glamour and the Art Deco lifestyle.

Such movies as Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Destry Rides Again, The Young Mr. Lincoln and Dark Victory.

Homes built in this era would reflect a 1939 Hollywood Glam Art-Deco feel to them. If this is the type of home you are looking for these streets would be the places to look.

The Lebon tract, which includes Diehl and Fortuna Avenue appear to have been the hot spots within The Broadmoor during this period. The Lebon tract was built by the Diehl Family as developers.

Across Dutton Avenue the New Broadmoor tract was begining with the Derry Bros., building the upper portions of Glen, Oakes and Begier as well as the newer section of Superior Avenue. This area is part of Estudillo Estates although the tract name is actually "New Broadmoor".

I'll have to do this series for Estudillo Estates next. I do have to admit I am having fun finding out what was built when and where.
