Most of the houses along this block of Amherst Avenue were built on speculation by the University Heights Realty and Development Company and are some of the earliest houses built in University Heights #1. Although a few were sold immediately, several were rented for the first few years. In this photograph taken from the intersection of Amherst Avenue and Radcliffe Avenue in July 1906, the house at 6951 Amherst appears to be complete, but several others along the block are still under construction.
