From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mid-Town Historic District is a historic district in Meridian, Mississippi, containing a collection of architectural and historically important 20th Century residences representing the houses of Meridian's wealthy industrialists, professionals and merchants, as well as the working class. Because of this historic architecture, the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1987.[2] The homes in the district are associated with Meridian's rapid growth at the beginning of the 20th century, when the city was the center of Mississippi's railroad economy. The district has a large percentage of brick structures, built as an alternative to the wooden frame residences made popular by the lumber industry and mills in Meridian.[3] The district is rectangular in shape, bounded by 23rd Ave, 15th St, 28th Ave, and 22nd St.[2]
