The North Broadway Historic District in Tupelo, Mississippi, is a 4-acre (1.6 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
The district consists of one block of North Broadway Street. In its NRHP nomination it was said to "represent a rare example of an intact late- nineteenth and early twentieth century Tupelo streetscape, in a community which saw most of its pre-1936 housing stock destroyed in a devastating tornado."[2]
The district includes 13 properties, each with a wood-frame house. Eight of the houses were deemed to contribute significantly to the historic character of the district, while five contributed marginally.[2]
The significantly contributing properties are:
- 308 Jefferson Street (c. 1895), a 2-story Queen Anne-style/Colonial Revival-style house with 2-story porches wrapping around two sides. The original first-floor wooden porch columns had been replaced by stucco-covered masonry. (See photo #1 of attached photos)
- 315 N. Broadway (c. 1895), an L-shaped vernacular cottage with East Lake-style woodwork on its front porch. (Photo #2)
- 323 N. Broadway (c. 1905), a 2-story structure with front porch supported by slender classical columns. A circular gazebo-like unit was once attached, but was removed. Has beveled siding. (Photo #3)
- 316 N. Broadway (c. 1900) a 1+1⁄2-story gable-front structure with chamfered corners at left side of facade. Its 1-story porch with turned columns is a replacement believed to be quite similar to the original. Photo #13
- 322 N. Broadway (c. 1900), a 1-story hipped-roof house[note 1] with a front-facing gable and a 1-story front porch supported by classical columns atop brick piers. This has Queen Anne-style textured woodwork inside its gable (photo #12).
- 330 N. Broadway (c. 1905), a 2-story structure with two front-facing gables. One-story porch supported by turned columns. Beveled siding. (photo #10)
- 342 N. Broadway (c. 1900), another L-shaped cottage, this with a projecting gable at left side of front facade that has chamfered corners with jig-sawn brackets. A c.1920 porch addition has square, classical piers on brick bases. Beveled siding. (photo #8)
- 346 N. Broadway (c. 1905), another L-shaped cottage, this with square, classical columns supporting its front porch. with beveled siding. (Photo #7)[2]
The five marginal properties are:
- 326 N. Broadway (c. 1905), photo #11
- 336 N. Broadway (c. 1900), (photo #9)
- 354 N. Broadway (c. 1920), (Photo #6)
- 360 N. Broadway (c. 1915), (photo #5)and

Notes
[edit]- ^ The NRHP nomination uses the term foursquare in describing this house, but the usage of the term seems to refer to it having a hipped roof (which slopes four ways).
