Columbus Historic District in Columbus, Georgia is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. [1] Its area was increased in 1988. [1] The original district included 20 city blocks and nine partial city blocks, and was bounded by the Chattahoochee River on the west, Ninth Street on the north, Fourth Avenue ( U.S. Highway 27) on the east, and Fourth Street on the south. [2]
The expanded district included 343 contributing buildings, one other structure, three sites, and one object (an 1879 Confederate war memorial). [3]
Fifteen of the historic houses had been moved but were still deemed to contribute to the historic character of the district. [3]
It includes the antebellum octagon house at 527 1st Avenue, a National Historic Landmark, named Octagon House or May's Folly. [3]
