Bartow Historic District, in Bartow, Georgia is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] The district included 121 contributing buildings, three contributing structures, and a contributing site. Its 209 acres (85 ha) area is roughly centered along Church St. (U.S. Highway 221), Wadley Road (U.S. Highway 319) and the CSX rail line.[1]
It includes a variety of architectural styles, including Queen Anne, folk vernacular, Colonial Revival, and bungalow/Craftsman.[2]
Selected buildings included are:
- Central of Georgia depot (1859), brick.
- Smith-Evans House (c.1916), 7261 Church Street - two-story house with monumental two-story front portico, with a heavy entablature, supported by six fluted Doric columns. Has a porte cochere.[2]
- Bartow Bank (1906), one-story commercial with "marble-clad front facade with bands of light and dark marble on the cornice and decorative pink marble details", as well as "an elaborate balustrade-like parapet."[2] The Bartow Bank opened in 1902 as Bartow's first bank; it failed in the 1920s as the cotton economy collapsed (with boll weevil infestations).[2]
