Buildings date from the 1850s to the early 1940s.","why_significant":"The district is presented as a nearly intact railroad-oriented small Georgia town that grew after the railroad arrived in 1852. It is significant for architecture, commerce, community planning and development, industry and transportation. It qualifies under Criteria A and C for its development pattern and its range of building types and styles.","narrative":"Grantville, in Coweta County, Georgia, is recorded as a historic district that takes in virtually the whole town. The railroad runs through its center, and attached brick storefronts with corbeled details sit on either side of the tracks, along with an 1896 passenger depot and a freight depot. Wood-framed houses spread outward, ranging from Gothic Revival and Victorian homes to Craftsman bungalows and modest mill-village dwellings. Two brick textile mill complexes, one dating from about 1895 and one from 1903, anchor the industrial side. The district also holds several churches, a 1937 Public Works Administration school, a 1927 gymnasium, the waterworks and a city cemetery. Its importance lies in how clearly it shows a small Georgia town growing up around the railroad, which arrived in 1852 and gave the town its name. Development continued through the early 1940s, and 225 buildings contribute to the district's character.","period_of_significance":"1852-1941","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century Gothic Revival; Late Victorian (Italianate, Queen Anne, Romanesque, Folk Victorian); Bungalow","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current uses include single dwellings, manufacturing, religious buildings, businesses and a cemetery.
