The core of the district is comprised of two blocks of North Broadway Avenue and three blocks of North Norton Avenue.

Talladega’s Ritz Theatre (circa 1936) is considered one of the best surviving examples of the Art Deco mainstreet theatres of the 1930’s. Careful restoration of the landmark’s extraordinary facade – comprised exclusively of opaque structural glass, a common construction material used lavishly during the Deco period in buildings like the Rockefeller Center in New York City – was completed in late 1997 with perfectly matched antique vitrolite glass by renowned St. Louis artisan Timothy J. Dunn.

The historic Ritz Theatre reopened on February 16, 1998 as the premiere performing arts center of East Central Alabama with a concert by the National Symphony String Quintet.

The Dr. William R. Harvey Museum of Art, located on the campus of historic Talladega College, proudly houses the iconic Amistad Murals by artist Hale Woodruff.

Commissioned in 1938, the murals commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Amistad Rebellion and the founding of the college. They remain the centerpiece of the museum.

In addition to the murals, the museum offers rotating exhibitions, educational programs, and events that explore themes of freedom, justice, and opportunity.

Adjacent to the museum, the Civil Rights Garden honors key leaders of the 20th-century Civil Rights Movement, adding depth to the museum’s powerful narrative.

Talladega College, Alabama's first private historically black liberal arts college, has been known for academic excellence for over 150 years. Their history began in 11865, when two former slaves met in convention with a group of freedmen in Mobile to make the commitment: "...We regard the education of our children and youths as vital to the preservation of our liberties, and true religion as the foundation of all real virtue, and shall use our utmost endeavors to promote these blessings in our common country."

The Silk Stocking District boasts architectural styles including Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, American Craftsman, and other late Victorian types. The district covers 113 acres and contained 120 contributing properties when first listed.

Manning Hall, on the Talladega campus of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind (AIDB), is one of the school's original buildings, constructed in the mid-1850s. The building is shown here in a 1939 photo by Frances Benjamin Johnson for the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the American South. The building currently houses the president's office and other administrative departments as well as an exhibit section called "Sight and Sound" with displays on history and technology relating to vision and hearing impairments and education.

The Kymulga Grist Mill is a fascinating piece of history that dates back to 1864. It was initially constructed by a German contractor named G.E. Morris for Confederate Army Major George H. Forney.

Despite surviving the Civil War without damage, the mill changed hands four times before being acquired by the Childersburg Heritage Committee.

One of the most interesting things about the gristmill is that it still uses its original large millstones to produce cornmeal to this day. However, it now operates on electricity instead of the traditional water power.
