The Vineville Historic District, one and one half miles northwest of downtown Macon, was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. This district includes not only residential but also commercial buildings incorporating a wide variety of architectural designs from the 1830's to 1930's. Represented in the 700 homes,churches, and businesses are Plantation Plain, Victorian,Neoclassical, and Bungalow styles. The district also features extraordinary examples of the Spanish Villa, English Tudor, Italian Renaissance, Federal Georgian and Jacobean styles. Prominent residents of this historical district included Reverend G.F. Pierce, the first president of Macon's Wesleyan College, George M. Logan, mayor of Macon in 1839, and the Honorable Thomas Hardeman, a United States congressional representative in the late 1850's who developed the"stars and bars" on Georgia's previous state flag.

Beginning as an area full of large plantation estates, the Vineville Historic District boasts many large Plantation Plain homes, such as the Solomon-Smith house at 2619 Vineville Avenue. The Greek Revival architectural style is represented in the Napier-Small house built in 1846 at 156 Rogers Avenue which is nationally recognized as a prototypical example. Notable architect, Neel Reid designed the Max Morris house in 1915 at 2082 Vineville Avenue in the Colonial Revival style. Other significant homes include 172 Cleveland, circa 1836 and 201 Clisby, which was built in the 1830's by Samuel T. Bailey and sold to Joseph Clisby, the first President of the Board of Education, in 1858. Clisby School was named in his honor. As the Vineville area became more suburbanized, the addition of churches such as Vineville Presbyterian and Vineville Baptist Church complimented the district with unique and grand architecture.^[1]
