It includes the c.1859 Dinglewood House, early 20th-century houses, a private central park and a city-owned park.","why_significant":"The district is significant for architecture because it contains intact examples of common mid-19th and early 20th-century Georgia house types and styles, several designed by prominent Columbus architects. It is also significant for community planning and development as a private enclave of homes built on a former antebellum estate, which the nomination calls unusual in Georgia.","narrative":"Dinglewood is a compact residential neighborhood east of downtown Columbus, Georgia, laid out around a circular private park. It grew from a 30-acre antebellum estate purchased in 1857 by Colonel Joel Early Hurt, whose Italianate house, designed by the Columbus firm Barringer and Morton, was completed in 1859. Two small craftsmen's houses from about 1858 still stand beside it. The estate was subdivided into single-family lots between 1917 and 1946, and the new houses reflect popular styles of the day, including Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival, plus later cottages and ranch houses through 1951. Architect John C. Martin, Jr. designed several of them. Granite pillars mark three entrances, and the curving drives and park have always been privately maintained. The city bought the northern 19 acres in 1946 for a public park, which holds a c.1930 Boy Scout clubhouse. The district is notable for its intact architecture and for being a private enclave on a former estate.","period_of_significance":"c.1858 - 1951","architect_builder":"Barringer and Morton (architects and builders, Columbus, GA); F.
