It has 34 contributing and 22 noncontributing resources, dating from about 1850 to 1957.","why_significant":"The district is described as a rare surviving rural crossroads community in suburban DeKalb County. It qualifies under Criterion A for community planning and development, as a crossroads settlement formed after the county opened to settlement in the 1820s. It qualifies under Criterion C for its houses and community buildings representing Georgia house types and styles, and for its distinctive use of granite from nearby Arabia Mountain.","narrative":"Klondike is a small crossroads community in southeast DeKalb County, Georgia, about three miles south of Lithonia. Its T-shaped historic district follows Klondike Road and South Goddard Road, with houses, farm outbuildings, stores, a church and a cemetery scattered among wooded lots and open fields. The oldest building is the Housworth-Moseley House, a log central-hall house built about 1850. Later houses include gabled-wing and Queen Anne cottages, bungalows, small postwar houses and 1950s ranch houses. Granite quarried at nearby Arabia Mountain was used in walls, foundations, chimneys, stores and cemetery markers. A post office opened at the crossroads in 1898, and at its height the community had a school, church, sawmill, cotton gin and about two dozen houses. The district was listed for its example of a rural crossroads community and for the range of Georgia house types and granite construction found there. The period of significance runs from about 1850 to 1957.","period_of_significance":"c.1850-1957","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne; Bungalow/Craftsman; vernacular house types including single-pen, saddlebag, central-hall-plan, gabled-wing, New South, American Small House and ranch house","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Houses, a church and a cemetery remain in use; the form states agriculture is no longer practiced in Klondike, though some outbuildings survive.
