Vineville Historic District
Neighborhood in Macon-Bibb, Georgia
Bibb County
Romantic, remodeled turn-of-the-century homes
Shade trees dot the gently rolling terrain of the neighborhood, which sits on a plateau above the Ocmulgee River. The community has a grid-like street pattern lined with sidewalks and curbs, with the only exception being the oval-shaped Stanislaus Circle. Most homes were built between 1900 and 1930, but some date back to the 1880s. There are also plenty of homes constructed between the ’40s and ’50s. The neighborhood has a unique blend of architectural styles including Plantation Plain, Victorian, Neoclassical Revival, Tudor Revival, Craftsman bungalows and brick cottages. Fixer-uppers range between $100,000 and $200,000. Turn-key remodeled homes typically cost between $235,000 and $440,000. Sprawling homes that have been completely remodeled can range from $500,000 to $650,000.
Big history at The Big House
The original members of the Allman Brothers Band called Vineville home during their formative years from 1970-1973. Linda Oakley, the wife of bassist Berry Oakley, saw the massive Tudor-style home for rent and dubbed it The Big House. The house now serves as an interactive museum dedicated to the band with more than a 250,000 artifacts. “There’s a lot of good memories and a lot of tragedy here with two of the founding members dying when they all lived at this house,” Hamilton says. “It’s a really special place and there’s no other museums like it.”
Community celebrations at Oak Haven Park
Over the past decade, Oak Haven Park has been transformed from 10 empty lots into a cherished community landmark. The park has ample green space for soccer and disk golf, as well as a playground and obstacle course. The community is also 4 miles west of Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, a prehistoric Native American site set to become Georgia’s first National Park. The land has more than 12,000 years of history and is the ancestral home of the Muscogee Nation, who will co-manage the park with the National Park Service.
History and comfort food at H & H Restaurant
Although located outside the neighborhood, H & H Restaurant is intrinsically tied to Vineville. “Back when The Allman Brothers Band first started, they could only afford one plate of food, and they’d all go there and share it,” Hamilton says. “Mama Louise, one of the owners of the restaurant who started it, would see the band and feed them for free and they coined a pretty special relationship.” The soul food staple is known for its “meat and three” menu, biscuit sandwiches and fried okra. Many residents head to Ingleside Village for restaurants and retail shopping. Kroger has groceries covered about 4 miles northwest of the neighborhood.
Vineville Neighborhood Association hosts regular events
The Historic Vineville Neighborhood Association plans events throughout the year to bring neighbors together and celebrate special occasions, including an annual chili cookoff, tree lighting celebration and back-to-school bash. Oak Haven Park is the site of many of the community’s events.
IB program at Central High School
Kids can attend Williams Elementary School, which Niche grades C-minus, or the C-graded Vineville Academy public charter school. Miller Fine Arts Magnet Middle School is a C-plus graded school with extracurricular activities like art club, jazz band and the International Thespian Society. Central High School receives a C. The high school offers fine arts programming and the International Baccalaureate program, a rigorous curriculum designed to prepare students for higher education.
Easy access to I-75
Downtown Macon is 1.5 miles east of the community. Vineville Avenue and Pierce Avenue are two major thoroughfares in the neighborhood, and residents can access Interstate 75 from Vineville Avenue. Atrium Health Navicent is 2 miles east of the neighborhood, and Macon Downtown Airport is 7 miles east across the Ocmulgee River.
