Senoia Historic District
Also known as: See Also:Hollberg Hotel
Why it's listed
Senoia is a small railroad town in Coweta County, Georgia, and its historic district covers about 150 acres of the original townsite. It holds roughly 150 historic buildings, mostly one- and two-story frame and brick houses, along with a compact Main Street business district, an industrial area beside the tracks, and four churches. The street grid was laid out in the 1860s, reportedly by a firm working for the railroad, and it survives unchanged. Houses show Queen Anne, Eastlake, Classical Revival and Craftsman styles, with several antebellum farmhouses. The commercial area keeps rare free-standing wooden stores beside brick buildings from the 1880s onward. The town grew with the first railroad after the Civil War and a second line in 1909, shipping cotton and peaches. The boll weevil and the Depression ended its growth, which is why the district's period of significance runs from 1827 to 1929 and why so much of the historic town remains.
Significance in brief: The district is argued to be significant in architecture, community planning and transportation. It keeps a gridiron plan from the 1860s tied to the railroad, an almost intact commercial area with rare detached wooden stores, and a wide range of late 19th and early 20th century styles. It also reflects the growth of a small railroad town until the boll weevil and the Depression.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
