Typical Downtown Decatur Single-Family Home Architecture: Anti-Cookie Cutter
Downtown Decatur features mostly historic (1920's - 1950) brick, craftsman, and sided bungalows with some new construction infill sprinkled throughout the City. Residents of Decatur are proud owners, which is shown in the well-maintained properties that have, for the most part, remained true to the vernacular of the features and characteristics of the year built. Each home boasts unique personality that distinguishes it from its neighbor while complementing and completing the progressive, artsy, and natural feel of the Downtown area.
