| The district is located in Grenada, Mississippi, in the north central part of the state in Grenada County. The Grenada Downtown Historic District includes the commercial and governmental core of the city, and has a total of 93 resources. It encompasses the historic commercial area of Grenada as it was laid out after the construction of the railroad line through Grenada in the 1850's. The character of the district, which includes commercial, governmental, religious, public and a few residential structures, is that of a small city that developed in response to the commerce along the Yalobusha River and then the construction of the railroad through the area. The majority of the commercial structures remaining in the district were constructed in the late 1880's to the early 1900's. Most of the historic buildings are row buildings, mostly one and two stories, and retain original elements such as pilasters, columns, decorative vents, and stepped parapets. |
