Local historic districts maintain the livability and stability of historic neighborhoods. Mallette Heights, on Washington and Jefferson Streets, is one of Thomasville's earliest planned neighborhoods. Because of the Mallette Heights development, the land east of the district opened up, creating an opportunity for Thomasville's first public school, East Side (now the Center for the Arts), to open and encouraging the later development of Glenwood. One of the densest areas for historic homes, it retains much of its important historic integrity. It is a jewel of the community, and we think it is important to protect the district from encroaching insensitive development.
We support the proposed designation of our neighborhood as Thomasville's newest local historic district, Mallette Heights.

The Thomasville City Council can no longer ignore the groundswell of support for Mallette Heights. We have forced them to acknowledge that our neighborhood is not for sale to the highest bidder.

Grew up on the street in the house in the photo. My dad grew up walking by the house going to High School saying to himself one day that will be my house. In April of 1963 they bought that home and lived there 53 years raised 6 kids in that house until my dad passed away. It was strange walking into that house that night even thought I had been living there for almost 9 years with him.All they ever wanted was another young family to live there when they both passed away and Scott and Katie were the lucky family.Lots of fun memories and more to come.
As the owner of the "Mallette-Golden" home on East Washington, applaud the efforts of preservation.
Mallette Heights is indeed a neighborhood deserving historic district designation.
It's a lovely neighborhood. Its charm was one of the reasons I moved here 5 years ago. Let's preserve this jewel!
I support protecting this extraordinary neighborhood and it's unique historical structures.
I agree
I support designating this beautiful neighborhood as a historical district!

Protecting this area is a MUST! It is full of well built old homes with handsome architectural details for people who want to live in style and close to town.
