The Ponce de Leon Court Historic District – a single street just east of Decatur Square – has been listed with the National Register of Historic Places.

John Womack developed the street in the 1920s into a short residential area with subtropical plants and deep setbacks.

The area now is a mix of apartments and small homes just off Ponce de Leon Avenue, a major east-west thoroughfare through the city.
