More than 150 of its buildings, mainly houses, are protected within the Southport Historic District. The rich array of 18th- and 19th-century architecture, including many grand examples of Federal and Greek Revival styles, reflects the area’s affluence during its heyday as a seaport, and preserves the aristocratic air that still sets Southport apart.
