The Lincolnton Historic District, in Lincolnton, Georgia, is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It included 126 contributing buildings, a contributing structure, a contributing site, and a contributing object.[1]

The district runs roughly along Washington, Peachtree, Goshen and Elm Streets in Lincolnton, and covers an area of 280 acres (1.1 km2). In addition to the contributing resources, it also includes 46 non-contributing buildings.[2]

It includes:

  • the Lincoln County Courthouse, separately listed on the National Register, designed by G.L. Preacher
  • Lincolnton Presbyterian Church and Cemetery, separately listed. This was once the "Union Church, was built in 1823 to serve as a meeting house for several different denominations, thus its name Union Church; such churches were a common phenomenon in early settlements but not many of these have survived. It is a simple gable front church with a cemetery that also dates back to the early 19th century."[2]
  • Lamar-Blanchard House (1823), separately listed
  • Blanchard Hotel (1941)
  • a Sears, Roebuck and Company mail-order house, built in 1911 on Humphrey St. This is model "Modern Home No. 124", a "one-story Georgian Cottage with a full-facade, integral porch supported by oversized Ionic columns and exaggerated brackets giving it an unusual Neoclassical/Craftsman style appearance".[2]

It includes Bungalow/craftsman, Moderne, and Queen Anne architecture.
