The Pine Grove Historic District encompasses 1,770 acres, 233 contributing buildings, one contributing site, and one contributing structure in a residential area within the Borough of Pine Grove in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and is bordered by South Tulpehocken and Mill streets and the Swatara Creek. The completion of the National Register of Historic Places Registration Sheet was done by Gabrielle Ramsauer, a planner with the Economic Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania, and William Sisson of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and submitted to the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior in 1987 in preparation for the district's listing on the National Register of Historic Places. This district was then officially added to the National Register of later that same year. The majority of contributing buildings that are included in this district are 2- to 2+1⁄2-story frame residences (single family and duplex) which were primarily constructed in Craftsman/Bungalow, Federal, Queen Anne, or Second Empire architectural styles, and which date to the 19th and early-20th century. Other historic structures were built in Beaux-Arts, Eastlake, Georgian, Gothic Revival, Italianate, or Tudor Revival styles. Most of this historic district's structures were erected between 1850 and 1937; the oldest dwelling was built circa 1750. Additional features of the vernacular buildings include gable roofs with chimneys, weatherboard siding, double hung windows, paneled doors with plain wooden frames, and shed roof front porches supported by simple rounded or squared columns. Most of these homes are also two to five bays wide. A 1+1⁄2-story Bungalow-style home, which was erected during the 1920s and is located at 286 South Tulpehocken Street, features a small wooden dormer and a porch with square posts and wooden balustrade. Nutting Hall, a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame home located at 205 South Tulpehocken Street, was designed in the Federal style, and built between 1823 and 1825. Five bays wide, it features a standing seam metal-covered gable roof, six over six windows with paneled shutters, and an entry portico flanked by two columns.
