Church Street-Cherokee Street Historic District

This neighborhood in northeast Marietta, Georgia, covers roughly 100 acres along Church, Cherokee and Campbell Hill Streets. It developed over about a century from several antebellum estates into a residential area of one- and two-story houses under mature oak, pecan and magnolia trees. The earliest surviving house, Ivy Grove, dates from 1843 and was later remodeled. Styles range from Victorian and Neo-classical to Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial, Craftsman and Tudor Revival, and several houses were designed by Atlanta architects Neel Reid and Leila Ross Wilburn. The district was listed for its architecture, its landscaping, and its planned growth, including the Church Street Extension of 1905 and the Cherokee Heights subdivision of the 1920s, both developed by Morgan McNeel. It also housed many Marietta mayors, judges and local business owners, from the 1870s until the mid-1930s. Its period of significance runs from 1843 to 1935.
