Predominantly built from 1890 to 1950, most homes are pleasantly sited upon hilly streets with view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A broad mix of architectural styles are found along the district’s tree-lined streets, which include Chestnut, Walnut, Maple Pine, and Locust Avenues. Follow the tour brochure on foot or by car.
