The Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District is Hattiesburg's most architecturally significant residential neighborhood. The District documents the growth and prosperity of southeast Mississippi's principal urban center from its beginning in the early 1880s until 1930 and parallels the development of the central business district. It has a variety of house types and range of architectural styles and is associated with its many historically prominent residents. Within southeast Mississippi, this is the outstanding residential district representing the 1880-1930 era, in both its size and diversity of architectural styles. [Hattiesburg, Forrest County, MS]
