About this property
The Gadsden Downtown Historic District is a historic district in Gadsden, Alabama, United States. The district represents the growth of the town through its industrial heyday from the late 1870s to the late 1940s. The earliest buildings in the district include examples of highly decorated Italianate styles, including the 1904 Gadsden Times-News Building. Early 20th-century buildings began showing less applied decoration, instead drawing visual variety from the brickwork itself. Later buildings begin to incorporate modern materials in their construction, including concrete, decorative glass, and enameled panels.
