The Central Gardens National Historic District is a beautiful neighborhood in Midtown Memphis. The district got its name because it “centers” on Central Avenue and due to its resemblance to New Orleans’s Garden District. Well known for its elegant homes, many of which that date back to the early 1900's, Central Gardens holds an annual home and garden tour to allow visitors a close-up view of some of its spectacular residences. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
