In the 1870s, the Swan Lake Narrow Gauge Railroad (later called the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad, and in 1901, the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad) was built along Stony Run.

Most construction took place in the 1920s and continued into the 1960s with several small garden apartments.

To the east Johns Hopkins University has slowly expanded into Wyman Park, and some of the open space has disappeared.
