While partnered with George E. Pomeroy of the George E Pomeroy Co., E. H. Close developed the Harvard Terrace Neighborhood of Toledo, Ohio; later, in 1909, Close founded the E. H. Close Realty Company and went on to develop many areas in and around Toledo, including Ottawa Hills.[2]

Harvard Terrace is doubly blest--nature did her best and man has done the rest. Take the Broadway car and come out tomorrow. See the beautiful boulevard. See the superb river view. See Walbridge Park --next door of Harvard Terrace ...

A historical review specialist for the Department of Neighborhoods conducted a survey of the neighborhood.[4] He found that it was platted in 1902.[4] One house was built in 1895; 100 houses were built by 1910; and most of the houses were built by 1925.[4] There were seven architectural styles identified including Arts and Crafts, Bungalow, Prairie, and Colonial/ Georgian Revival.[4]
