History
The neighborhood was originally a part of Midwood, the 1877 estate of Samuel Brady. In the 1890's, the property was divided. The largest parcel, called Chestnut Park, was owned by John Phillips. This is the land that makes up Lake-Evesham today. The first houses were built in the first decade of the 20th century. Many of the frame cottages were built in the housing boom following World War I. By the late 1930's, all of the present streets were in place, and most lots were improved.
