The Lauraville Historic District is a cohesive residential suburb defined by hilly topography, contoured street patterns, and early 20th century, free-standing frame and masonry houses. Lauraville is an excellent example of suburban development in Baltimore from ca. 1870 to 1941. The historic district, which is roughly bounded by Harford Road, Herring Run Creek, Cold Spring Lane, Charlton Avenue, Halcyon Avenue, Grindon Road, Catalpha Road, and Echodale Avenue, is comprised of a variety of early 20th century suburban architectural forms. Foursquare houses and bungalows predominate. The historic district also includes commercial buildings along Harford Road, two churches, one school, and one cemetery. With few exceptions, the residential section of Lauraville appears little changed and possesses a high degree of integrity. Demolition and major alterations appear to have been largely confined to the present commercial strip along Harford Road

Residential properties have been converted to commercial use through the enclosure of porches or other more minor alterations (Photo 34 - building in center). These buildings are counted as contributing resources. Commercial alterations to residential buildings were typical along major roads in Baltimore as the transition from rural farm roads to suburban roads to major commercial thoroughfares took place.
