This is an example of a racially restrictive covenant, taken from an abstract for a home in the Colonial Hills neighborhood. The text reads: "No part of said Colonial Hills District or any building thereon shall be owned, leased or occupied by any person other than one of the Caucasian race but this prohibition shall not exclude or prevent occupancy by persons not of the Caucasian race as domestic servants of any resident of said Colonial Hills District and the declaration by any court of the invalidity of any part of this prohibition shall not invalidate the remainder thereof."
The neighborhood of Colonial Hills was platted between 1927 and 1941. Like other neighborhoods in Worthington, including Riverlea and Detrick Estates, as well as many across the country, Colonial Hills was platted with deed restrictions limiting ownership and occupancy to white residents. The Federal Housing Administration required racial restrictions for new subdivisions to qualify for federal mortgage assistance.
