South Columbus Historic District is a historic district in Columbus, Mississippi that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] Its 1980 nomination lists 525 structures and sites.[2]
According to the nomination:
The South Columbus Historic District is a cohesive, well-preserved neighborhood of archi- tecturally and historically significant buildings which visually illustrate the city's historical pattern of development since the early 1800's. It contains one of the greatest concentrations of nineteenth century residential structures in the state and exhibits a virtually complete record of American building styles from the 1820's throught the 1930's. Additionally, the district possesses significant examples of adaptions and combinations of architectural designs which are unique to Columbus; it contains the homes of several persons who played important roles in local, state, and national history; and it includes the site of Columbus' oldest industry, Columbus Marble Works (est. 1846).[2]:56
The district was increased in 2005 to add a c. 1900 Late Victorian L-shaped house at 1124 Main St., so that its renovation could benefit from a tax incentive.[3]
