Midtown Memphis Neighborhood - Evergreen Historic District
The Evergreen Historic District of Midtown Memphis is one of the prime historic neighborhoods in
the area. Located in an section of Midtown Memphis bounded by Poplar on the south, North Parkway on
the North, East Parkway on the east and Cleveland on the west, the district
features many beautiful homes and a cohesive neighborhood association.
A large swatch of homes were removed in the early 1970's to make way
for an I-40 extension planned through the heart of the neighborhood. However
activism changed the route, and in 1991 the vacant lots were sold for
development. The historic nature of the architecture has been preserved
in the newer homes, and in many cases, it is hard to tell the old homes
built in the early 1900's from the new homes built a decade or two ago.
Evergreen is a great Memphis neighborhood to live in. Good neighbors,
great public schools - all within walking distance. There are also nearby
neighborhood commercial entitieties, as
well as the Memphis Zoo,
Brooks Museum of Art
and Overton Park, on the eastern border.
