North Broadway Historic District (Tupelo, Mississippi)

The North Broadway Historic District in Tupelo, Mississippi, is a 4 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

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."

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.

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 The original first-floor wooden porch columns had been replaced by stucco-covered masonry.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
