Eastwood Park is a twelve block area in an oxbow of the Souris (Mouse) River that was subdivided and platted into the city of Minot by K. E. and Belle Leighton in August of 1906. Its proximity to the downtown business district made the neighborhood appealing to Minot's prominent families. The area reflects a variety of early 20th century architectural styles, including Princess Anne, Craftsman, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, Dutch Colonial, Greek Revival, Arts and Crafts, Georgian Colonial, and Sears and Roebuck Company kit homes. Many houses have remained virtually unchanged over the past 100 years while others have been modified. Despite the passing of time, the homes and tree-lined streets have retained their early 20th century character. In 1969 the area suffered major damage from the flood waters of the Mouse River. It has also been home to the Jewish Synagogue, and the Greek Orthodox Church is still located there. The only remaining false arch bridge in North Dakota still provides pedestrian access from downtown Minot. Eastwood Park has been accepted for inclusion in the National Registry of Historic Places.
