The Holmes–Foster–Highlands Historic District is a national historic district located in State College, Centre County, Pennsylvania. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
The district includes 727 contributing buildings located in two residential areas of State College: Holmes–Foster and the Highlands. The district reflects the growth and development of State College as an emerging college town.
The houses are largely wood frame and exhibit a number of popular early twentieth-century architectural styles including Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Bungalow. Non-residential buildings include two schools, three churches, a few shops, and the high school football stadium, Memorial Field. Also located in the district is the separately listed Camelot.[1]
