Downtown Durham Historic District, Historic district in Durham, United States

The Downtown Durham Historic District contains 97 buildings constructed between 1880 and 1940, showcasing Colonial Revival, Italianate, and Art Deco architectural styles.

The district received recognition from the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, marking its importance in preserving North Carolina's commercial and architectural heritage.

The Carolina Theatre, First Baptist Church, and Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church represent the strong religious and entertainment foundations of Durham's early community development.

Located in Durham's central business district, the area features multiple transportation options, parking facilities, restaurants, and informational markers for self-guided tours.

The Trust Building from 1904 and First National Bank Building from 1913 demonstrate the financial prosperity of Durham during its tobacco industry peak period.
