Downtown Albany Commercial Historic District; Albany, Dougherty County

The City of Albany sponsored the nomination of the Downtown Albany Commercial Historic District, which was added to the list July 15, 2025. The district represents the historic economic center of the region from 1885-1975 and reflects Albany’s rise to prominence as the largest city in Southwest Georgia, according to the release.

Thomson Commercial Historic District; Thomson, McDuffie County

The district was also added on July 15 and was sponsored by Forward McDuffie. The district was deemed as significant in serving McDuffie County as the historic commercial center.

“The district is also locally significant to community planning and development when dependence on the automobile in the mid-20th century influenced customer shopping habits and impacted the traditional town plan,” read the news release.

Cross Roads School; Dixie, Brooks County

Cross Road Community Center, Inc., sponsored the nomination of the school, which made the list on July 3, 2025. The school was built as part of Northern activists efforts to improve educational opportunities for African Americans in the early 20th century. The school is one of a few remaining examples of a Rosenwald School in Georgia, according to the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation.
