Downtown: Check out
Church St. East Historic District, you can take the MODA, free downtown bus service. House museum: Conde-Charlotte house. Then to the north of the city is
De Tonti Historic District. There is a house museum there: DAR-Richards house.
All of the Midtown Historic Districts are awesome! Too many streets to name, actually; but hey, I live here in this heaven after 8 years of boring, treeless West Mobile. Thank God I moved! We go downtown at least 4 times a week to visit, shop, and/or eat. It truly has been a huge lifestyle change that has been exciting.
Please check out in Midtown alone:
Blacklawn Street, Dauphin Street, Government Street to Houston Street, Houston Street, Bienville Street, North Monterey Street, Monterey Place, Julia Street, Hunter Street, South Georgia Avenue, Selma St, Palmetto Street, Rapier Avenue, Roper Avenue, Savannah, Old Shell Road, Silverwood, Flo Claire neighborhood, Spring Hill Avenue (Ashland Place neighborhood particularly)and many more that are just too many to list!!!! On Spring Hill Avenue, you will find the Bragg-Mitchell home house museum.
There is a stretch of huge old oak trees down Government looking east from Ann Street along the Oakleigh Historic district that is really unbelievable. There is a house museum here to see: Oakleigh Historic Complex.
Maybe if I get a chance, I will post some photos too but I don't think I can take photos as well as the beautiful ones provided. How about I just encourage you to go back downtown and take more, more, more!
