City Directories and History: The Hampton Heights Historic District is a significant collection of 120 contributing residences in the Hampton Heights section of Spartanburg that retains historic and architectural integrity from the early twentieth century. The district, which developed between 1890 and 1930, was the home of numerous middle and upper class citizens of Spartanburg. The district is a cohesive and intact collection of early twentieth century houses, representative of the prevalent urban and suburban house types of the era, and of the nature of suburban development in a growing city. Predominant architectural styles and modes include Queen Anne, Bungalow, Craftsman, Four-Square, and Neo-Classical. The buildings in the district are primarily single-family, frame residences which vary in scale. Large residences boast well-matured grounds, outbuildings and deep setbacks. Smaller and later houses were built with small, uniform setbacks, narrow lots, and uniform orientation and scale, expressive of the consistent development of the area as an inner city residential area of the 1910-1930 period. Listed in the National Register January 27, 1983. Courtesy of the S.C. Dept. of Archives and History
