These homes form a unique Pierson style characterized by low-pitched roofs, floor-to-ceiling picture windows, and open, central floor plans.

The periphery areas of Myrtletown primarily contain houses built in the latter half of the 20th century. However, several houses exist from the 1930s and 40s, when the area was grassy and open.
