The La Mott Historic District is located in the heart of Cheltenham Township along Cheltenham Avenue between Washington Lane and Old York Road.

Because residents want to maintain this historic character of this community; certain repairs, maintenance, and outside appearances of homes in La Mott are closely reviewed by a Township/Resident board entitled a Board of Historical and Architectural Review or BHAR. Residents and property owners must seek the approval of the La Mott BHAR prior to being granted building permits in La Mott.

In May 2002, a website was launched about Historic La Mott.
