It centers on a landscaped divided avenue with about 55 significant buildings from the early 19th to early 20th century.","why_significant":"The district is notable for its landscaped avenue with a wide central median holding commemorative monuments, and for its collection of residential, religious and some commercial buildings in styles such as Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire and Queen Anne. The text excerpt supplied does not include the formal statement of significance, so the reasons are drawn from the description.","narrative":"Greene Street in Augusta is a landscaped avenue about 168 feet wide, split into two roadways by a median averaging 45 feet across. The district covers nearly ten blocks, from the Gordon Highway overpass to the Augusta Canal bridge. The median holds trees, azaleas, walks, benches and 13 commemorative monuments, including the 1850 Signers' Monument honoring Georgia signers of the Declaration of Independence. Along the street are some 55 significant buildings dating from the early 19th to early 20th century, mostly residences, with several churches and a few commercial buildings. Styles range from the Federal-style Eve House of about 1820 to Greek Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne houses and churches such as St. James M.E., St. John M.E. and Sacred Heart. Modern buildings and parking lots were excluded from the boundaries, and the south side of the two westernmost blocks was left out because of a planned expressway extension. The divided avenue and its median tie the district together.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mixed 19th and early 20th century styles including Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Romanesque, Gothic Revival and Beaux Arts","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is marked good and altered; the buildings are occupied, with many former residences converted to offices.
