It holds 107 contributing and 10 noncontributing buildings, mostly houses built between 1922 and 1954.","why_significant":"It is significant in architecture for an intact collection of early- to mid-20th-century house types and revival styles, many designed by leading Columbus and Atlanta architects. It is significant in community planning and development as a planned, automobile-oriented suburb with curvilinear streets laid out by landscape architect Earle S. Draper. It is also significant in landscape architecture, including a 1954 ranch house with a garden by Thomas D. Church.","narrative":"Peacock Woods-Dimon Circle is a residential neighborhood east of downtown Columbus, Georgia, built between 1922 and 1954. It grew from four subdivisions: Peacock Woods, Dimon Circle, Rock Park and Wynnton Heights. The land was once the back yard of John Banks's antebellum house, The Cedars. Landscape architect Earle S. Draper planned Peacock Woods with curving streets that follow the hills, sidewalks, and a small park. The area was built for automobiles rather than streetcars, and some original two-strip driveways, garages and back alleys survive. Nearly half of the houses are Tudor Revival, with others in Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival and French Vernacular Revival styles. Many were designed by Columbus and Atlanta architects, including Neel Reid, who designed the Robert E. Dismukes, Sr., House. A 1954 California-style ranch house by Finch, Barnes, and Paschal, with a garden by Thomas D. Church, is a distinctive later addition. The district was listed for its architecture, planning and landscape design.","period_of_significance":"1922 - 1954","architect_builder":"Architects and landscape architects named include James J.W.
