Garwyn Oaks' history is intertwined with the communities of areas known as Walbrook and Windsor Hills,
which were formed from the estates of Baltimore's elite. The estate of George R. Vickers, Mount Alto,
provided the land for the community of Garwyn Oaks. Much of the distinctive development in area, that is,
the single family detached, wood frame and shingle cottage homes were built in the early 1900s.
