History and architectural features
The district includes 727 contributing buildings located in two residential areas of State College: Holmes–Foster and the Highlands. The district reflects the growth and development of State College as an emerging college town.
The houses are largely wood frame and exhibit a number of popular early twentieth-century architectural styles including Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Bungalow. Non-residential buildings include two schools, three churches, a few shops, and the high school football stadium, Memorial Field. Also located in the district is the separately listed Camelot.[2]
