Midtown Historic District (Atlanta, Georgia)
Encyclopedia
The Midtown Historic District in Midtown
Atlanta, Georgia
is a historic district
that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1999.
It is roughly contiguous with what the Midtown Alliance organization calls the "Midtown Neighborhood", which is only part of the much larger Midtown
neighborhood.
The Midtown Local Historic District organization seeks to designate most of the current historic district as a "local historic district", which unlike simply being listed on the National Register, actually provides tools for preservation of the historic architecture.
