historic districts

The Garden District of New Orleans is a leafy residential neighborhood that has been fashionable since the 1830s, containing around 1,000 historic luxury homes dating from before the Civil War to the early 20th century.

Also known as the Vieux Carré (Old Square), the French Quarter is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans and a National Historic Landmark. It consists of about 80 blocks that roughly coincide with the original city layout of 1721.

Savannah's National Historic Landmark District is the largest such district in America. It includes James Oglethorpe's original city plan of 1733, featuring 24 park-like squares surrounded by an orderly grid of streets and buildings.

Dealey Plaza, built 1934-40, serves as Dallas' western gateway and was the focus of civic pride prior to the tragic event that unfolded on November 22, 1963--the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Opened in 1883, the Oregon State Hospital in Salem is a psychiatric hospital based on the Kirkbride philosophy and famed for its starring role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The district includes the Dome Building (1912) across the street.
