Oakenshawe is primarily one development built between 1916 and 1926 of large medium size row houses, arranged in architecturally organized groupings, following the English "terrace’ concept. Houses range from three to five bedrooms, and are superbly constructed of brick with slate roofs. In addition, there are some individual houses, semi-detached houses of earlier and later date that are within the neighborhood. The atmosphere is one of an eighteenth century English town, within the city. |

| Oakenshawe comprises part of the estate of Henry R. Wilson, who sold his property for development to the Phillip C. Mueller Company in the early twentieth century. The first houses were built in 1916 along Guilford Terrace, with other sections following at intervals thereafter. The architects, Flournoy and Flournoy, who were brothers, were masters of home planning in the Georgian Revival style. The proximity to Guilford meant that the quality of the housing stock would be particularly high: Oakenshawe houses are very well built. The houses are grouped into architectural arrangements with subtle articulation of the different house units. Then as now, the appeal of the neighborhood has been to provide commodious but affordable housing proximate to Guilford and Roland Park as well as Charles Village and Downtown. |
