What, where, when in Old Kenilworth – Discovering Kenilworth’s “model homes,” Part 6
Discovering Kenilworth’s “model homes,” Part 6. Last article readers were promised to learn where the Oak Knolls section of town was located and the name of a visionary planner. The planner was Harold B. Snyder (1908-1979) who in the 1930s lived with his family on S. Michigan Ave. He owned W. D. Snyder Co., at the corner of Fairfield Ave. He carried out a plan to develop the industrial area between Fairfield and Colfax avenues. He envisioned affordable homes to attract workers for the industries and a new Uptown shopping area with Kenilworth’s own supermarket. To build the homes he linked up in the late 1940s with George and Harry Butts of G&H construction. In 1949 Snyder erected the colonial style shops on the north side of the Boulevard from N. 19th St. to nearly N. 21st St. Residents were jubilant to have a real supermarket in town. In the 1960s he founded the Kenilworth State Bank, now Wells Fargo.
