Just north of downtown and Bicentennial Mall, Historic Germantown is a 20-square block area that is home to a variety of homes and businesses. Originally part of a land grant given to James McGavock for his during the Revolutionary War, Germantown is thriving again today due to the diligence of area residents. The neighborhood association dedicates itself to preserving the history and charm of the area, and new building (homes and businesses) maintain the architecture of the original area.Tomorrow: Two of the churches of Germantown

Those houses are so cute. Was Germantown originally occupied by Germans?
I love the colorful homes...would be a neat place to visit.
Casas de madeira em cores muito lindas!
I was born in a small village that was originally given to a Revolutionary War Soldier as payment for his service. He later sold all 80 acres for a little over $200.00.
This is a nice photo and a reminder of those times.
By the way, the people paid their taxes using squirrel scalps and wolf scalps.
Looks like a storybook street. thanks for sharing.
