It represents modest small-town neighborhood architecture in Georgia. The form also suggests possible social history significance for housing middle-class residents, but says this was not documented to National Register standards.","narrative":"South Main Street in Statesboro, just south of the downtown business district, includes a small neighborhood of 15 houses built between about 1910 and 1930. Most are one- or one-and-a-half-story Craftsman bungalows with multi-gabled roofs, clapboard siding, exposed rafter ends and porches with tapered wooden columns on brick piers. Queen Anne cottages and a single two-story American Foursquare with a pyramidal roof are also present. The district was recognized for architecture, as a good example of modest small-town residential building in early 20th-century Georgia. Residents were largely moderate-income families, many working downtown or in commerce and agri-business. Two local educators, Sallie Zetterower and Lilly Deal, lived here. Some houses have become rental units or offices, bringing modern signs, though the historic character remains. Mature oaks, pines, azaleas and crepe myrtles shape the informal yards.","period_of_significance":"1910-1930","architect_builder":"Averitt, J. B.; Franklin, A.
