Beechfield, Frederick, Wickham and Pen Lucy Roads bound the five blocks of Tremont, part of the 617 acre, late-seventeenth century estate of "Atholl." It takes its name from the late nineteenth-century estate formed from "Atholl" and owned successively by Charles D. Deford, William Baker, and William Baker, Junior. The Annexation of 1918 inspired the development of daylight row houses between the wars along the flat land of Amberly, Dunkirk, Dartford, and Frederick. Flat, spread-out apartment construction surrounded by green space is represented by the older Beechfield Apartment units at Beechfield and Sayer, and the newer Hunting Hills units, at Sayer and Wickam. By 1980 Tremont was a racially integrated neighborhood of one thousand residents.
