Julia-Ann Square Historic District
The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, with architecture styles being listed as late Victorian architecture and Colonial Revival architecture. Many notable examples of Queen Anne architecture can be seen in the neighborhood as well.
Among the notable dwellings is the Van Winkle-Wix House. It was built in 1836 by Peter Van Winkle in what was at the time a portion of western Virginia. The building has undergone many changes since being initially constructed as a two-story residence, with most coming in the years 1875–1899. The third floor and the north wing as well as the turrets and spires were all added through the years. Additionally, the entrance, which originally faced Murdoch Avenue to the west, was reversed to face Ann St, as it currently does.
The Peter G. Van Winkle House at 600-602 Juliana Street was demolished in 1994.
