About Oxford Historic District
The Oxford Historic District is one of NC's most architecturally diverse — a National Register area covering downtown Oxford's 1810s–1930s tobacco-belt heritage, anchored by the iconic 1840 Granville County Courthouse, the historic 1853 Masonic Female Seminary (now the Granville County History Museum), and the 1925 Orpheum Theater. Surrounding the courthouse square are Federal, Greek revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, and Craftsman bungalow homes on tree-canopied streets. Roofing in the Oxford Historic District requires Oxford historic-preservation review and emphasizes original tin, slate, and standing-seam preservation.
