Its tree-lined streets hold mostly wood-frame, middle- and upper-middle-class houses, along with a Gothic Revival Baptist church, a 1935 school, a hospital, two parks and the 1885 Male Seminary building, which was returned to its original site in 1975. Part of the area lay within the town limits when Newnan was incorporated in 1828, and it grew through several periods of settlement, railroad-era expansion and early-twentieth-century prosperity. The houses show about a century of changing styles, from Greek Revival and Victorian to Prairie, Neoclassical, Bungalow and Art Deco. Much of the decorative sawnwork came from the local R. D. Cole woodworking shop, which operated from 1854 to 1960. Atlanta architect R. Kinnon Perry designed the 1925 Newnan Hospital and many residences. The district was listed for its architecture, planning, education, religion and local history.","period_of_significance":"1820s - early 20th century","architect_builder":"R.
