The area that became Deza Estates [†] was originally farmland owned by Thomas B. Croke Jr.
The developer, H.A. Swanson, encouraged custom homes and owner involvement, which was unusual for the era.
All homes in Deza Estates are described as Modern Movement style, a mid-20th-century architectural approach.
