| The buildings in the North Broadway Historic District illustrate the Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman styles popular nationally from 1880 to 1925. They 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 town was platted in 1860 as a speculative venture in antitpiation of the arrival of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. It soon became prosperous in rural trade. |
