Ferger Place Historic District
As many new styles of homes evolved, Ferger Place remained a getaway from the changing society and stayed true to its classic, post-Victorian style. Houses included porches, open rooms, high ceilings, and multiple windows.
These Post-Victorian Architectural Styles specifically included:
- Craftsman Bungalow
- Contemporary Prairie
- Four Square
- Dutch Colonial
- Cottage Tutor Revival
- Italian Renaissance
The Neighborhood represents the National Register of Historic Places in its rare architectural styles and community oriented appearance. The Neighborhood also includes a private park for residents of Ferger Place. As one enters through the original pillars on both Morningside and Eveningside Drives, they quickly arrive at great understanding of the distinct style and historic vibe that the neighborhood puts off. The Neighborhood recently celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010 and continues to represent the history of the City of Chattanooga.
