The Lawrenceville Street Historic District, in McDonough, Georgia, is a 25 acres (10 ha) historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It included 27 contributing buildings and a contributing structure.[1][2]

It consists of houses along a street which arcs northeast and east from the Henry County Courthouse. These include:

  • House at 34 Lawrenceville Street (c.1900), a New South cottage with "the complex massing of a Queen Anne cottage and a central hall"
  • C.W. Walker House (1888), 56 Lawrenceville Street, a two-story, three-bay Georgian
  • House at 61 Lawrenceville Street (c.1890), a central-hall plan house with a Greek Revival-style porch and a steeply pitched Gothic Revival-style cross-gable roof
  • House at 97 Lawrenceville Street (1904), "an excellent example of a Georgian-plan cottage"
  • House at 215 Lawrenceville Street (1916), Renaissance Revival-style[2] This is the Turner House, pictured above.

However, as of 2019, the first three of these have been demolished.
