About this property

The Charnwood Residential Historic District is a 59.5-acre (24.1 ha) historic district in Tyler, Texas that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It includes works dating from 1870. It includes works designed by Barber & Klutz, James Hubbell and Herbert M. Greene of the firm Hubbell & Greene, and other architects in Tudor Revival (38 homes), Colonial Revival (31 homes), and other styles. The listed area covers about 15 blocks of Tyler. The NRHP listing included 166 contributing buildings and 42 contributing structures. In 1999, the district was deemed to be:worthy of preservation as the largest concentration of the widest range of mid-19th to mid-20 century resources in Tyler, developed through a complex network of family, business and neighbor relationships as well as by investor and speculator efforts. Representative of local community development patterns over a 110 year period, the district forms the core of a larger area, to the north, west and south that share similar patterns, but include less diverse resources dating from the 1880s to the early 1940s. As such the Chamwood Residential Historic District is a highly visual and important local landmark that documents the relationship between changing economics and development patterns and provides interpretation of social, and architectural trends in Tyler between c. 1870 and 1950 linking the city's heritage with the present. Houses in the district include ones designed by Barber & Kluttz (although the NRHP register does not indicate which were its works), Hubbell & Greene, and other architects.
