It preserves modest middle-class houses from the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century, a community planned around the Fletcher Institute, and informally landscaped, tree-lined streets and a central square.","narrative":"Fletcherville is a residential neighborhood of roughly 38 acres south of downtown Thomasville, Georgia. It was laid out in the mid-1850s alongside the Fletcher Institute, a private college founded in 1848 by the Florida Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Houses were built around the central school block by people connected to the Institute, including trustees. Fletcherville was incorporated as a town in 1856 and became part of Thomasville in 1857. Most buildings are modest one-story wood-frame houses showing Greek Revival, Victorian Eclectic, and Craftsman or Bungalow detailing, with a few two-story examples. The Arthur P. Wright House of 1854, designed by John Wind, is a Greek Revival cottage that was also individually listed in 1970. Streets are gridded, with sidewalks, informally planted yards, and rows of mature live oaks along Bartow and College Streets. The former Institute square, now the Harper School site, remains a key landscape feature. The district was listed for its architecture, planning, education, and landscape.","period_of_significance":"1850s - 1920s","architect_builder":"Several; the Arthur P.
