It is also significant for landscape architecture, community planning and development, and local history tied to merchants, professionals and commuting farmers.","narrative":"Vickery Street in Lavonia, Georgia, is lined with a 23-acre residential district of about four blocks, running from near the town center almost to the city limits. Most buildings are wood-frame single-family houses, joined by two churches, a house of decorative concrete block and a 1930s telephone booster station now used as a law office. Styles include Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Victorian Eclectic, Georgian Revival, Renaissance Revival and Bungalow, spanning roughly fifty years of local building. Houses sit at uniform setbacks in informally landscaped yards, with sidewalks and street trees, and open farmland borders the east side. The Queen Anne residence and the domed Baptist church anchor curves and intersections in the street. The district was recognized for its architecture, its landscape character, its pattern of neighborhood growth along a county road, and its link to local merchants, a banker, a mayor, a builder and farmers who lived in town and worked outlying land. A developer built five nearly identical houses here between 1895 and 1900.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Victorian Eclectic, Georgian Revival, Renaissance Revival, Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"The district is described as an intact historic neighborhood with few intrusions, mostly ranch houses.
