The land slopes toward a bend of the South River, with the Blue Ridge Mountains behind it and the historic business district to the northeast. It contains 595 resources, of which 454 contribute to its historic character. Most are houses built between the 1890s and the 1950s, including single-family homes, duplexes, apartment buildings, churches, garages and sheds. Frame houses with weatherboard siding are most common, alongside many brick and brick-veneered buildings. Styles include Queen Anne, Craftsman, Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival and Modern, and common forms include American Foursquares, bungalows and later ranch houses. The oldest buildings are the vernacular Old Stone House (about 1800) and the Greek Revival Rose Cliff (about 1860), the seat of the former plantation and orchard from which much of the district's land was derived. The inventory also notes local builders, early occupants and a former military school infirmary.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Late Victorian, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman, Modern Movement","criteria":[],"status_note":"Houses, duplexes, apartment buildings and churches remain in residential use; some houses have been converted to apartments.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:59.946529-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/81/6840/41684081/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/02000369.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000369/3940043c6b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/02000369/3940043c6b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Lvklock","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rose_Cliff_river_side.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Lvklock</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rose_Cliff_river_side.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41684081","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_Streets_Historic_District_(Waynesboro,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7837564"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/waynesboro/tree-streets-historic-district-02000369/"}
