The Scottholm Tract Historic District is a national historic district encompassing 266 contributing buildings, 1 contributing structure, and 1 contributing site in an exclusively residential section of Syracuse. The neighborhood is well regarded for its architectural and landscape diversity. Winding boulevards and tree-lined streets feature noteworthy examples of Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, and Bungalow / American Craftsman style residential architecture. Scottholm is characterized by its Garden City town planning principles and manicured landscaping.
Development of the area began with creation of Genesee Turnpike, now Genesee Street in the 1830s, but what would become “Scottholm Estates” was sketched out in 1914 and lots were sold beginning in 1915. The survey identifies about 30 houses as dating from 1915–1925. Most date from the late 1920s and early 1930s, suggesting the effects of the Depression took a while to be fully felt by Syracuse's white collar professionals who made up a substantial portion of the neighborhood residents. Some of the houses were designed by local architect Ward Wellington Ward.
