Market Street Mansion District
Market Street Mansion District, Historic district in Wilmington, United States.
Market Street contains numerous mansions built in Victorian, Italianate, and Colonial Revival styles, forming a cohesive architectural ensemble along its length.
The district emerged during the late 1800s when Wilmington's maritime commerce brought wealth to local merchants who constructed grand residences.
The mansions demonstrate the architectural preferences of North Carolina's elite families through detailed craftsmanship and ornate decorative elements.

Each mansion features individual design elements such as wraparound porches, ornate cornices, and detailed window treatments specific to their construction period.
