"The twenty-six structures comprising the Centreville Historic District focus on the
1902 Bibb County Courthouse (11) and Court Square and consist primarily of late-19th and
ear1y-20th century commercial and governmental structures reflecting the character of a
turn-of-the-century rural county seat.
The large majority of the structures are one- and two-story flat-roofed brick
buildings, many having oversized transoms and arched windows. The more elaborate
decorations include corbelled cornices [Fuller Building (22), Fashion Fabrics (23),
Pratt Building (24)], arched wrought iron vents [Pratt Building (24)], a stepped
parapet [Yeager Building (17)], and iron pilasters [Fashion Fabrics (23), Pratt Building
(24)].
Among the individual structures, the most significant are the Romanesque-influenced
courthouse (11), the Renaissance Revival jail (10), the Victorian bank building (5), and
the Greek Revival church (8). Except for the enclosure of the tower dome on the courthouse,
the exteriors of these remain unchanged.
Two residential structures [the Davidson-Leeper House (1) and the Kennedy House (15)]
are located at either edge of the district, though until 1883 the Davidson-Leeper House
stood on the corner of West Court Square and Walnut Street. The courthouse is situated
at the north end of Court Square, and originally the square extended to Walnut Street.
When the Confederate Statue was moved in 1951, parking space was added at the south end,
thus reducing the square.
The boundaries were drawn to include the significant concentration of commercial,
governmental, and residential structures and to eliminate intrusions on the north and
east side of the square. . .
[The district is] roughly bounded on the north by the north end of Court Square; on the east by the rear
property lines of East Court Square, and extending to Kennedy Avenue; on the south by
the rear property lines of the south side of Walnut Street; and on the west by Cedar
Street and the west property line of the Davidson-Leeper House (1)."
