Neighborhood History

“The Ingleside neighborhood began under the leadership of developer Louis A. Tharpe in 1917 and was billed as ‘Macon’s Most Beautiful Suburb’, a moniker the area still lives up to today. Lots featured 100 feet of frontage and a 200 foot depth; all located only a 15 minute streetcar ride from offices in downtown Macon. Architects such as Ellamae Ellis League, William F. Oliphant, J. Neel Reid and W. Elliott Dunwody each created one of a kind architectural treasures for the neighborhood.”
