The Seminole Heights Residential District, known also as the Seminole Heights Historic District, is a U.S. and Local Historic District located in Tampa, Florida. The district is roughly bounded by Hanna Avenue to the north, Cherokee Avenue and I-275 to the east, Florida Avenue to the west, and Osborne Avenue to the south.
Seminole Heights Residential District was designated a U.S. Historic District upon its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1993. The district encompasses 1,700 acres (6.9 km2), and includes 325 buildings identified as contributing structures based on their historical and architectural significance to the district. Most of the buildings are private homes, but despite the "Residential" moniker, the district also includes public and community structures such as Seminole Heights United Methodist Church and Hillsborough High School. The later two are examples of Gothic Revival style, one of the architectural styles for which the district is recognized. Another style, which is represented in the neighborhood's numerous bungalows, is American Craftsman. All the contributing buildings in Seminole Heights Historic District date from the early 20th century, and the district is noted for historical significance from the period of 1912 - 1928.
The historic district is a part of the city's Old Seminole Heights neighborhood, one of three distinct neighborhoods within the greater Seminole Heights section of Tampa. Old Seminole Heights is home to two nationally recognized historic districts, of which Seminole Heights Residential District was the first. Hampton Terrace Historic District received its designation in 1999.
