The Cooper-Young Historic District was placed on the National Register on June 22, 1989.
History: From the core subdivision of Mount Arlington emerged the greater neighborhood of Cooper-Young, as wave after wave of subdivisions were taken by developers and homebuilders into older pre-annexation towns of Idlewild, Lenox and Madison, among others. Apart from the Craftsman style, the Colonial / Tudor Revival and lingering Queen Anne Revival style were the most popular architectural styles applied to the cottages and bungalows built in these neighborhoods. Today Cooper-Young stands as one of the most popular neighborhoods in Midtown and is bustling with local businesses and restaurants. Cooper-Young Historic District is one of the National Register-listed districts recognized (and protected) by the City of Memphis as a local historic district or Historic Overlay District.
