It combines two subdivisions: Skinnerville, platted by Harry Skinner in 1882, and Greenville Heights, subdivided in 1907. Most of its 337 buildings, sites and structures are houses, ranging from Italianate and Queen Anne dwellings of the late nineteenth century to Craftsman bungalows, Colonial Revival homes, Period Cottages, Minimal Traditional houses and Ranch houses built through the mid-twentieth century. The district also contains the 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival Third Street Elementary School, Cherry Hill Cemetery, with markers dating from 1845, and a railroad corridor from 1890. Two earlier listed houses, the E. B. Ficklen House and the Jesse Moye House, stand along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Many modest duplexes were built to house African American workers. The neighborhood is significant as a largely intact record of Greenville's growth as a regional center, with a period of significance ending in 1955.","period_of_significance":"Ending 1955 (the form gives the end of the period as 1955; the full range is not shown in the excerpt)","architect_builder":"George R.
