The Fort Payne Residential Historic District is a historic district in Fort Payne, Alabama. The district represents both of Fort Payne's major periods of growth: the 1880s and 1890s, fueled by the area's mineral deposits; and the 1910s through the 1930s, bolstered by the development of the hosiery industry. The area was predominantly middle class, meaning only a few Queen Anne homes were built; most houses from the early period were built in more restrained Vernacular Victorian styles. Later construction is dominated by American Foursquares and Craftsman Bungalows.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
