The Alabama Historical Commission recently approved a map designating a portion of the city of Atmore as a commercial historic district.

The location of the historic district by street is Carney Street, Main Street, Trammell Street, Pensacola Avenue, Roberts Street, Presley Street, East Church Street, Nashville Avenue/Highway 31, Louisville Avenue and Ridgeley Street.

At present, the city’s historic district nomination is being considered by the United States Department of the Interior’s National Park Service.

Within the district, there are 72 contributing buildings, and 25 non contributing. Contributing means that the building contributes to the district, and non contributing means that the building doesn’t contribute to the district, according to City Ordinance 2019-01, which established a historic preservation commission in Atmore.

According to the city’s application written by McNair Historic Preservation Inc., the city, divided by an active east to west railroad track, holds many historic buildings of the 20th century, and many are still being used today for commercial purposes. According to the latest survey in 2002, the whole city can boast approximately 580 structures that are 50 years old or more.
