The historic district features examples of Craftsman, Queen Anne, and regional vernacular architecture. Spread over with 17 contributing buildings and one object, it is roughly bounded by the Whatley Road from Grove Hill to the railroad tracks.[1] It is a part of the Clarke County Multiple Property Submission and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1998.
