Mobile Historic Districts
National Register Historic Districts · Mobile, Alabama
Founded in 1702 as the first capital of French Louisiana, Mobile is older than New Orleans and has the oldest organised Mardi Gras in the United States to prove it. Its historic core is a set of adjoining districts — De Tonti Square, Church Street East, the Oakleigh Garden District and the Lower Dauphin Street commercial run — of cast-iron balconies, Creole cottages and antebellum townhouses under live oaks. In March the whole city goes into azalea bloom, which is the week the districts are worth planning a trip around.
150 South Royal Street, Mobile, Alabama, 36602, United States
A public city — the districts are open at all times and free to walk. Museums and house museums keep their own daytime hours, most closing by 4 or 5 PM, and several close on Sundays and Mondays. Mardi Gras runs in the weeks before Lent; azalea season is March.
