It included 69 contributing buildings on 31 acres (13 ha).[1] It was listed in 1980 for its architectural significance.[1] It included a number of early shotgun houses, which the Tennessee Encyclopedia has noted were endangered and "disappearing rapidly".[2] The shotgun houses and/or other residences included Late Victorian, Queen Anne, and Italianate styling.[1] The district borders made an irregular pattern along Vance and Pontotoc Avenues in Memphis.[1] Twelve of the buildings were destroyed by fire between 1979 and 1982.
