built in the nineteenth century. Of the two counties, Mobile contains more 

 National Register sites, most of which are located in the City of Mobile's 

 historic districts. 



The listing is a synthesis of information from The National Register in 

 Alabama (Alabama Historical Commission 1978a), Alabama's Tapestry of Historic 

 Places (Alabama Historical Commission 1978b), and the most recent addendums 

 to the National Register properties in Baldwin and Mobile Counties (M. 

 Brooms, Historical Commission of Alabama, Montgomery, and Mobile Historic 

 Development Commission, Mobile, 21 May 1984; pers. comm.). The National 

 Register properties outside the City of Mobile are plotted individually. 

 Most of the sites in the city are within the historic districts noted on the 

 maps and not designated individually.
