The Bainbridge Residential Historic District in Bainbridge, Georgia is an irregularly shaped 125acres historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It then had 197 contributing buildings and 76 non-contributing ones. The overall plan of the neighborhood was also deemed to be a contributing resource.[1]
The district encompasses the largest and only intact historic neighborhood in Bainbridge. It includes houses of numerous 19th-and early 20th-century house styles and sizes.[1]
Two antebellum houses, both built around 1850, are included in the district:
Most houses in the area were built between 1880 and 1930, in subdivisions that merged.
The NRHP nomination notes that "One of the architecturally interesting streets in the southwest section of the district is Washington Street, which contains a large collection of pyramidal roofed houses. These one-story frame structures are dominated by their seemingly oversized roofs, with ornamentation limited to turned columns on the front porches. This house type can also be found in the northeast part of the district, on Georgia Avenue, historically a black neighborhood."[1]
