==History==
(詳細はsteamboats were loaded with cotton and other goods in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Between 1844 and 1886 the river landing was paved with limestone and granite cobblestones brought in from the upper Midwest. This created what is today the largest intact Mississippi River landing still in existence, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.〔http://river.freshbits.com/library/2000/05/on-memphis-waterfront-master-plan-must.html Clubb, Deborah M. ''On the Memphis Waterfront: Master Plan Must Account for What the Founders Wanted: A Public Promenade'' Commercial Appeal, Sunday, May 21, 2000.〕 The explosion of the steamboat ''Sultana'' in 1865 near Memphis was one of the worst marine disasters in history.
There are several historic residences downtown, particularly in the Victorian Village neighborhood. Other historic homes include the Hunt-Phelan House (1830), the Magevney House (ca. 1835) and the Burkle Estate (1849). The Burkle home and the Hunt Phelan House (533 Beale Street) were reputed to have been part of the underground railroad by which escaped slaves made their way to freedom prior to the Civil War.〔(Hunt-Phelann House. )〕
