West College Avenue Historic District is a national historic district located at Hartsville, Darlington County, South Carolina. The district encompasses 22 contributing buildings in a primarily residential section of Hartsville. They were constructed between about 1906 to about 1930, with the majority constructed between 1910 and 1926. They illustrate a period of significant development which saw the town's population increase more than five times its size at the turn of the 20th century. The architecture reflects late-19th and early-20th century movements such as Victorian, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Bungalow.[1] [2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
