Description	Acquisition of property for what would become Parkview began as early as 1901 by the Parkview Realty and Development Company. Beredith Realty Company was the developer, and the area was often referred to as the Beredith Tract. The Parkview plat was filed in 1905. In this photograph taken looking east from the Park Hotel in 1906 two houses are under construction on Washington Avenue. In the foreground, west of Westgate Avenue, is the Parkview nursery where trees and plants were raised for use throughout the subdivision.
