James O. Woodruff laid out Woodruff Place in 1872, envisioning a residential park with shade-covered sidewalks, fountains, statues, and wide streets with grassy esplanades, all inspired by European communities he had visited.

The home and garden tour is the primary fundraiser for the historic neighborhood. The neighborhood utilizes the funds raised to make improvements in the neighborhood, such as restoration of town hall, fountains, and 10th street wall.
