Cunningham Avenue, one of the town’s main streets, has been described as “Americana” with its mix of older well-kept homes and businesses. Several homes in the older part of town are candidates on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Dudley House, upper right, is located on Railroad Avenue in the heart of our downtown area. It has been on the Historic Register since 1984 and has been featured in several national publications.
The Wolfe House, right, built in 1852, is located on Claiborne Street across from the town’s water tower. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1989.
The next house is a beautiful older home located in the heart of Terry near the intersection of Cunningham Avenue and Utica Streets. This home was built in the late 1800’s and was originally owned by the Underwoods, one of the original families that settled Terry.

At the northern edge of town is South Fork Estates, an upscale subdivision of acreage properties. Natural gas service became available in late 2006, and this is one of several locations being considered for future city sewer connection. When completed, South Fork will consist of approximately 50 acreage lots.
The next subdivision located West of Interstate 55 along Green Gable Road is Terry Park. It is a higher end starter home community. Phase 1 has been completed, and Phase 2 construction is currently underway. When completed, this subdivision will consist of approximately 80 homes.
Cedarstone subdivision, bottom-left, is located in the heart of Terry, and was created by developers John Robinson and his son, J.D., in response to the increased demand for starter homes in the area. Cedarstone has strict covenants, sidewalks throughout, underground utilities, and homes with amenities more commonly found in higher-priced homes. Phase 1 has been completed, and the final phase will begin in 2010. |
Developer Joey Hemby plans to begin construction of Morgan Meadows subdivision in early summer 2007. Morgan Meadows will be a “move up” community of 30 – 40 homes in the 1,500 square foot range on larger subdivision lots.
Again, with its personable family atmosphere, good schools and housing choices available, one can see why Terry is a great place to live! |
