The National Register of Historic Places says this district consists of 13 buildings and a structure, which would be the Main Street Bridge. I have uploaded photos taken from each corner, but I cannot tell for sure which buildings are part of the district.
As a district, ownership is mixed.
The Main Street Bridge, a 120' steel truss, was built after the 1927 flood wiped out the wooden bridge which had been there for decades. In the spring of 2008, a temporary bridge was constructed less than 100 yards upstream (SE), so that this bridge could be restored. The projected completion date for the project is December 12, 2008.
