"The Douglasville Commercial Historic District represents a typical
central business district in a small Georgia city. ...
The city
contains a variety of historic commercial buildings, the majority of
which are arranged along Broad Street, facing the railroad tracks.
The Douglasville Commercial Historic District consists of those
properties retaining historic features that face Broad Street, for the
most part, with some along Church Street and Price Street. It
includes the remaining concentration of historic commercial buildings.
These five blocks are part of the original town plan and parallel the
railroad tracks. The buildings have a typical downtown siting,
perpendicular to the streets, and most are one or two stories in
height. The majority of the buildings are of brick construction,
dating from the late 19th and early 20th century.
"... early 20th century retail
stores, (photographs 2,4,8), which illustrate architectural
adaptations of popular period styles and all of which are
characteristic of historic central business districts in small Georgia
railroad towns." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
