Many of the city's neighborhoods are well-preserved as walkable "museums" of 19th- and 20th-century American architecture, particularly by the [[New Haven Green]], [[Hillhouse Avenue]] and other residential sections close to [[Downtown New Haven]]. Overall, a large proportion of the city's land area is National (NRHP) historic districts. One of the best sources on local architecture is ''New Haven: Architecture and Urban Design'', by Elizabeth Mills Brown.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://downtownnewhaven.blogspot.com/2009/01/tribute-to-elizabeth-mills-brown-athena.html |title=Tribute to Elizabeth Mills Brown, 'Athena' of New Haven Preservation, January 2009 |publisher=Downtownnewhaven.blogspot.com |access-date=July 23, 2014 |archive-date=August 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140814162807/http://downtownnewhaven.blogspot.com/2009/01/tribute-to-elizabeth-mills-brown-athena.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
