North College Street Residential Historic District

North College Street in northwest Statesboro is lined with a neighborhood of modest houses built between 1922 and 1930. The district covers about 13 acres and holds 24 contributing buildings plus two later houses from the 1940s. Most are one- or one-and-a-half-story Craftsman bungalows with multi-gabled roofs, weatherboard siding, exposed rafter ends, and porches on tapered wooden columns set on brick piers. A few have hipped roofs, and brick appears as both a decorative and structural material. Mature oaks and pines shade the street, and yards are informally landscaped with azaleas and crepe myrtles. Early residents included a dentist, a hardware store owner, a barber, a mail carrier, and a Coca-Cola bottling manager, many of whom walked to work downtown. The district was listed for architecture because it is the largest concentration of small-town bungalow housing in Statesboro and has kept its historic character, though some houses are now rentals or businesses.
