GRENADA COMMUNITY HOUSE

-A A +A
1935. 320 S. Line St.

In 1836, after rival land companies developed adjacent grids set at different angles, local officials merged the two tracts to form Grenada. On a triangle of land produced by the abutting street grids stands the Tudor Revival Grenada Community House built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Its exterior walls combine randomly coursed stone and brick, with brick also used to define corners, frame windows, and form the arched entrance of the front porch and false half-timbering in the gables. Across the street at number 423, the former Lizzie Horn School (1949) is a strongly horizontal modernist work by N. W. Overstreet and Associates.
