They represent the same areas of significance: architecture, community planning and development, landscape architecture, and education. The form says some areas were apparently left out of the 1974 listing only because of narrowly drawn boundaries.","narrative":"This boundary increase covers roughly 103 acres around the existing Macon Historic District in Bibb County, Georgia, with 226 contributing and 49 noncontributing buildings. One section lies between Tattnall Square and Interstate 75, in a former middle-class neighborhood known as Huguenin Heights that grew from the 1880s into the 1910s and was later divided by the interstate. Houses there are mainly Italianate, Queen Anne and Folk Victorian, with Colonial Revival and Craftsman examples from the early twentieth century, and five brick Mercer University gymnasium and dormitory buildings. Smaller additions include houses on Orange Street and a brick church and hospital near Pine Street. The nomination argues that these areas share the architecture, landscaping, street grid and integrity of the original district, and that earlier boundaries missed them. The period of significance is 1823 to 1942. Federal reviewers returned the proposal in 1995 because it also sought to reduce the original district's boundaries.","period_of_significance":"1823-1942","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne, Bungalow/Craftsman, Art Deco (also Italianate, Folk Victorian, Colonial Revival and others in the revised district)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Reviewers returned the boundary increase in March 1995 because it was paired with a boundary decrease that would remove parts of the original 1974 district.
