Frank Henderson, a Kalamazoo military regalia manufacturer, platted the Henderson Park neighborhood in 1888. Taking advantage of the topography, Henderson rejected a typical grid pattern in favor of curving, tree-lined streets and deep setbacks found in the new, "naturalistic" suburbs of the East and Midwest. Henderson Park developed fully between 1910 and 1930, once automobiles became popular and eased residents' commute to the city's manufacturing and business centers. Now known as West Main Hill, the district exhibits a range of styles from modest bungalows to large Tudor and Colonial Revivals. Henderson Park is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
