It holds nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century houses built by multiple builders.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be significant in community planning and development, architecture, landscape architecture, and local history. It shows a neighborhood that grew incrementally along a principal street laid out in 1828, and it holds a wide range of domestic architectural styles, including the Greek Revival Bellevue. Many of LaGrange's prominent and middle-class citizens lived there.","narrative":"Broad Street Historic District is a residential neighborhood of about 25 acres in LaGrange, Georgia, lying between the downtown business district and LaGrange College. Broad Street was laid out in 1828 as part of the original town grid. Large ante-bellum houses on big lots were built there by prominent townspeople, and those holdings were later subdivided as turn-of-the-century textile mill growth created demand for upper-middle-class housing. The result is a neighborhood that grew gradually rather than by deliberate planning. Houses range from one-story cottages to two-story dwellings and span Greek Revival, Victorian, Neoclassical, Tudor Revival and Craftsman/Bungalow styles. Bellevue, a ca. 1855 Greek Revival mansion, is individually listed and a National Historic Landmark. Shade trees, informal front yards, low retaining walls and some hexagonal concrete sidewalk blocks reflect late-nineteenth-century naturalistic landscaping. Politicians, doctors, judges, merchants and mill owners lived here, which supported the district's listing for architecture, planning, landscape design and local history.","period_of_significance":"early 19th century - early 20th century (1800-1899 and 1900-)","architect_builder":"Multiple","architectural_style":"Greek Revival, Victorian Eclectic, Queen Anne, Neoclassical, Georgian Revival, Tudor Revival, Craftsman/Bungalow","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Marked as occupied, in private residential and religious use, with few non-contributing structures; photographs from 1981 were judged still accurate.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.357556-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/84001264.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001264/be83c3ca61-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001264/be83c3ca61-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Rivers Langley; SaveRivers","credit_html":"Rivers Langley; SaveRivers, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Broad_Street_Historic_District;_LaGrange,_GA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93209715","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_Street_Historic_District_(LaGrange,_Georgia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4971959"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/troup-county/broad-street-historic-district-84001264/"}
