Whitefield Square
Practice pronouncing Whitefield to rhyme with Pittfield, in honor of the Reverend George Whitefield, who in 1742 succeeded the Reverend John Wesley as Church of England minister to the Georgia colony. He is also remembered as founder (in 1740) of Bethesda Home for Boys, America's oldest orphanage in continuous operation. The gazebo in the center of Whitefield Square is a favorite spot for exchanging "I do's." Frame houses with wide porches and Victorian "gingerbread" abound in this neighborhood.
