Gorgas–Manly Historic District, Historic district at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, United States.

The Gorgas-Manly Historic District spans twelve acres and contains eight buildings constructed with Greek Revival architectural elements on the University of Alabama campus.

Two buildings within the district, including the Gorgas House and Little Round House, survived the Union Army's burning of the campus on April 4, 1865.

The district's buildings chronicle the evolution of university architecture from its establishment through the late nineteenth century, representing different educational periods.

Visitors can explore the district's structures, including Woods Hall, Clark Hall, and Garland Hall, which currently house academic departments and art galleries.

The construction of several buildings in the district was funded by selling land received from Congress as compensation for the 1865 campus destruction.
