A previous district of the same name had existed as an entity of Baldwin County, but it was legally dissolved by the incorporation of Magnolia Springs.[2]
The district runs roughly along Oak, Spring, Bay, Jessamine, Magnolia, Pine & Rock Sts., Island, Cedar & Holly Aves. & Magnolia Springs Highway. It includes 70 contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and a contributing site (the spring), as well as 47 non-contributing resources.[2]
The district was deemed significant "for its role as a resort community that, in the late 19th and early to mid 20th centuries, served both transient visitors as well as part-time and permanent residents who were predominantly affluent Northerners."[2]
Included are:
- Brunell House, 12113 Jessamine St., separately-NRHP-listed, a vernacular rental cottage with elements of Classical Revival style, including Tuscan columns.[3]
