After the area was developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s the area had mostly middle- and upper-class residents, and it included mansions as well as single family homes, and also some apartment buildings and duplexes. The West Farnam neighborhood, later called the Blackstone, was distinct from the Cathedral neighborhood at the time; both are included in the larger Gold Coast.
