This lengthy ad was published 1 August 1936 and illustrates the recognizable Gate House on East Front Street in Plainfield. The reason the neighborhood is listed as "a restricted residential community" is because it held the seal of the newly created FHA (1934) which profiled the potential residents.
I'll be sharing the FHA ratings in another post where you can read how the FHA rated the area based on ethnicity, religion, and occupation.
