It is comprised of a residential neighborhood that contains a number of Frame and Masonry Vernacular style buildings and Craftsman Bungalows, a school, and two churches, and a small business area. The historic district consists mainly of one-story and two-story single family dwellings and less than 12 brick and frame commercial buildings constructed between the 1860s and 1940s. SETTING The Waldo Historic District is located in the northeastern quadrant of Alachua County, approximately 12 miles north of the county seat of Gainesville. Two major, four-lane highways pass through Waldo. State Road 24 divides as it goes through the city's small commercial district (Photo 1). A high overpass to the north of the historic district was built when US 301 was widened in the 1960s. The residential neighborhood in the district is distinguished by tree-lined streets, some of which are unpaved (Photo 2). The historic district is in the center of the city, which covers approximately two square miles. The CSX
