Original Memphis

Original Memphis This is our new web-portal for exploring our unique treasures in Memphis. Built on a bluff, and always on the precipice.

That’s Memphis — teetering between
north and south, east and west, rich and poor, black and white. This town of tensions tells a tale unlike any other. If you like mesmerizing architecture, societal collision, restless ghosts, meteoric rises and tragic declines, you’ll love Original Memphis. The Original Memphis area features 21 properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Within just a four-block radius, you’ll discover every architectural style of the 19th century.

Hello all!
Like our *page* by tomorrow and you could recieve a free DVD of the story of Adams Avenue by W***y Bearden. Original Memphis is a new hub for all things unique in Memphis _www.originalmemphis.org_

_The View From Adams Avenue_
"This is the story of the founding and development of Memphis' first suburb. In its heyday, the neighborhood was the true economic, social and political center of the city. Today, only a handful of homes remain to reflect the opulence and the importance of the Victorian era in Memphis. These homes were the castles of the city's industrial and commercial magnates. This film tells their story and ties it to the rest of the city just across the Gayoso Bayou.
W***y Bearden is the creator of the Memphis Legacy Project, and endeavor to visually document and preserve aspects of Memphis history. Bearden's previous films include Overton Park, Elmwood Cemetery, One Came Home, and Visualizing the Blues."
