Carolina Heights Historic District, Residential historic district in Wilmington, United States

Carolina Heights Historic District is a residential area with roughly 420 buildings representing Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Classical Revival architectural styles. The homes are distributed across the neighborhood bounded by Market Street, Thirteenth Street, Rankin Street, and Nineteenth Street.

Development began in 1907 when Mary Bridgers purchased land to create a new residential neighborhood served by streetcars through 1939. This project transformed rural land into a prosperous residential area with consistent architectural standards.

The Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church and St. Paul's Episcopal Church serve as gathering places that shaped the spiritual and social life of residents. These buildings became anchors of community identity and continue to reflect the values of the people who settled here.

Visitors can explore the neighborhood on foot since walking paths connect the residential sections throughout the area. The best approach is to start from the boundaries at Market Street, Thirteenth Street, Rankin Street, or Nineteenth Street.

The district holds 421 contributing buildings, one contributing site and one contributing object, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 with a boundary increase the same year. Among the landmarks are New Hanover High School (1922), the Sinclair Service Station (c. 1936) and Yopp Funeral Home (1936).
