Where it is
On this page the area is two National Register districts on the city’s maps:
- Maysville, the western one, reaching west to about Houston Street.
- Oakdale, the eastern one, reaching east to about South Carolina Street and South Dearborn Street, just south of the Oakleigh Garden District.
Their city address points run from about Virginia Street on the north to about Arlington Street on the south. On Oct. 17, 2026, the city’s data held 2,681 address points in the two districts: 67% in ZIP code 36605, 17% in 36604 and 14% in 36603. All are inside city limits, so the City of Mobile provides police, fire and garbage service.
Neither district is locally designated, so they are not under the city’s Architectural Review Board, according to Map for Mobile. Broad Street, which runs along the area’s eastern side, is the subject of the city’s Broad Street and MLK Jr. Avenue project.
