1.3 HisToriC narraTive: resiDenTial DisTriCTs 12 The Senatobia Residential Historic Districts were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The architectural character of the Residential Historic District displays a range of nineteenth and twentieth century styles and types. Architectural styles represented are the Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Minimalist Traditional, Tudor Revival and commercial Art Moderne. House types include the pyramidal cottage, center hall cottage, doublepile cottage, bungalow (with and without “airplane”), side L-plan house, Cape, and English cottage forms. The styles and forms found here represent a cross-section of the architectural character and building types that exist in historic areas throughout Senatobia. Additional note is made to the qualities of setting and streetscape which contribute to the character of the Residential Historic District. These elements of the district’s character are provided by the pattern of lots divisions, front yard and side yard setbacks which establish the historic rhythm in the streetscape; its pattern of historic street trees, sidewalks, land terraces lawns and private plantings all serve as evidence of the continuity of the district as a place for living. All of these qualities provide a contribution to the significance of the Residential Historic District. The Residential Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the area of architecture for its significant contribution to the diversity of Senatobia’s historic architecture. The range of architectural styles, building forms and their respective construction dates make a strong contribution to the sense of time and place that is unique to Senatobia. The period of significance for the South Panola Street Historic IntroductIon District was derived from the date of construction for its earliest structure, and the date of construction of its latest historic structure. The Residential Historic District reflects a development pattern that is consistent with that of the pattern of Senatobia as a whole. While there were scattered antebellum residences in Senatobia, the creation of Tate County in 1873 with its new court- house at Senatobia caused the need for residential development, which occurred in waves concentrated in the latter quarter of the nineteenth century and first quarter of the twentieth century. The Residential Historic District contains representative examples of the building forms, architectural styles and other design elements inherent to the times and trends of these building periods.
