Burnette's daughter and son-in-law built a Corinthian-columned Greek Revival home in 1857. A few other pre-Civil War houses remain, and construction continued after the war, including a school building that was later converted into a house. Most of the early residences were large, and built in Greek Revival, Second Empire, and Colonial Revival styles. Beginning in the 20th century, bungalows and cottages on smaller lots began to emerge. One of the later constructions in the district is a Spanish Colonial Revival house, built in 1928.
