The heart of Merriam Park is the area between Cretin Avenue and Snelling Avenue, where large two plus story homes called Four Squares, many Queen Anne inspired Victorians, and Colonial Revivals. Further east in Merriam Park, homes were built in the early 1900's up to the 1920's, which include Prairie style homes, Tudor Revivals and Craftsman 1-1/2 stories.
