Hallman Hill

In the early 1900's, Swedish brick mason A. G. Hallman was among the craftsmen who migrated south to build booming industrial cities. He moved from the Lake Michigan area and purchased an acre of farmland along the north side of Oxmoor Road between Park Avenue, now 18th Street, and Center Avenue, now 19th Street. Hallman's brothers began buying land around his, and before long residents began referring to the area as Hallman's Hill.
