About St.

Mary's

St. Mary's, located between Downtown Decatur and Lake Decatur, is a residential and institutional Decatur neighborhood with mature tree-lined blocks and a steady civic rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the St. Mary’s Hospital campus along N. Taylor Avenue, where shift changes, clinics, and coffee runs set the pace. Early- and mid-century houses mix with brick apartment buildings, giving the streets a practical, lived-in architectural texture. Decatur Memorial Hospital anchors daily life, while nearby Millikin University adds a collegiate edge through lectures and performances. Fairview Park and the lakefront paths shape an outdoors-forward routine without leaving the grid. Macon County History Museum and the Transfer House keep local history and rail-era geometry in view.
