The McCarty Subdivision Historic District consists of historic residences built during the early to mid 20th Century, located within a picturesque park-like landscape.  The subdivision was platted in 1929 and features linear and curvilinear streets and a landscaped median on Willow Park Drive.  The historic residences are located near the center or front of the wide varying-sized lots surrounded by large mature trees, grass lawns and ornamental plantings marking boundaries including flower beds and sidewalks.  

The Trammel House

The Trammel House, located on Thornton Place, is one of three two-story historic residences within the district.  The Queen-Anne type house was constructed in 1882 and was originally located on Walnut Avenue.  The house was moved to its current location in 1929, just before the area was platted for the McCarty Subdivision.  The house was labeled as the McCarty House on the subdivision plans and the subdivision was created on the remaining property surrounding the house.  The remaining historic residences were built from 1929 into the early 1950s and feature one- to two-story height.  The historic exterior wall surfaces represented within the district include wood, brick veneer, stone and stucco.
