Downtown tyler
A National Historic District
Our story
On May 21, 2022, the Texas Historical Commission State Board of Review approved Downtown Tyler as a District in the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination was prepared by HHM & Associates and partially funded with a Texas Certified Local Government grant (TX-21-009). The designation as a National Historic District does not add any additional regulations and allows for contributing properties to apply for State and Federal Tax Credit programs. The district encompasses 68.5 acres of land within the Downtown Planning Area and Downtown Business, Arts and Culture District. The Tyler Downtown Historic District contains about 19 blocks and 241 parcels roughly situated between West Front Street to the south, Border Avenue to the west, the Cotton Belt railroad tracks to the north, and Fannin Avenue to the east. Composing the core of downtown Tyler, the district includes the county courthouse square and federal district courthouse buildings, as well as Tyler City Hall.
