It holds three earlier listed properties, including the city's only remaining Gothic Revival example. Its street pattern, uniform setbacks and surviving streetcar route evidence are also important.","narrative":"East of downtown Columbus, Georgia, this neighborhood grew from a cluster of antebellum country estates into a streetcar and automobile suburb. Most of its 270 contributing buildings are one- or one-and-a-half-story bungalows, side-gable cottages and English cottages built between about 1920 and 1950, with Craftsman, Colonial Revival and English Vernacular Revival details. Older landmarks include The Cedars, a Greek Revival house begun in 1836, its Gothic Revival garçonnière, the Woolfolk House, and the 1843 Wynnton Academy building, now a school library. Small subdivisions, uniform setbacks of about 20 feet, mature trees and traces of the streetcar route along Wynnton Road and Wildwood Avenue give the area its character. Two-story brick apartment buildings, many from around 1940, reflect demand for housing created by nearby Fort Benning. Together these resources document the village's development from the 1830s through the mid-twentieth century.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"T.
