Crown Heights is a Historic Preservation District consisting of homes dating from the ‘30s. Once known as "Pill Hill" due to the large percentage of physicians in the neighborhood, Crown Heights actually began its life as the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, but it was sold to developer G.A. Nichols (also of the eponymous Nichols Hills to the north) and divided into housing lots. Today, the mix of Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, Mission-Spanish, Monterey, French Eclectic, Minimal Traditional and Art Deco styles combine with characteristic landscaping and a trendy location (bordering Western Avenue shopping and dining, near Asian District, Midtown and downtown) to create one of Oklahoma City's premier historic neighborhoods.
