It has a range of revival and Craftsman-era house styles common in Georgia towns, plus two churches tied to Winder's Methodist and Presbyterian congregations. It is also linked to the Winder Woman's Club and to early merchants and civic figures.","narrative":"This 66-acre residential district lies northwest of downtown Winder, Georgia, around Athens, Candler, Church and Center Streets and Midland Avenue. Its one- and two-story brick and wood houses date mostly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and show Folk Victorian, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, Georgian Revival and Craftsman styles. Notable examples include the Neoclassical Jackson-Johns House on Candler Street and the Colonial Revival McCants-Miller House, built around 1897. Two churches are also included: the 1904 Methodist church, now a restaurant, and the 1895 Presbyterian church, now a Baptist church. The Winder Woman's Club building, from about 1931, stands at the district's southeastern edge. The district was recognized for its architecture, its churches, the Woman's Club founded in 1920, and its ties to early Winder merchants and residents, including the first woman to graduate from the University of Georgia Law School. The period of significance runs from 1880 to 1935.","period_of_significance":"1880-1935","architect_builder":"Several","architectural_style":"Folk Victorian, Neoclassical, Georgian Revival, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":[],"status_note":"Marked occupied and in private residential use; the two former churches are now a restaurant and a Baptist church.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.016027-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/86000799.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000799/98fda5d5c6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000799/98fda5d5c6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Chris Pruitt","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:84_Church_St_Winder_Oct_2012.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Pruitt</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:84_Church_St_Winder_Oct_2012.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206905","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34891894"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/barrow-county/athens-candler-church-street-historic-district-86000799/"}
