The Ferndale Main Street Historic District is associated with the dairy town of Ferndale, California. The historic district extends along Main Street from Shaw Street to Francis Street and is surrounded by historic residential neighborhoods. Buildings within the district represent two distinct architectural periods, the Late Victorian era of the 19th century (1880 - 1900) and the Early Modernistic period of the 20th century (1920 - 1936). The Victorian buildings are primarily one and two story commercial false fronts with elaborate cornices, fanciful bay windows, and glass storefronts. The Modernistic buildings are almost all one story, false front commercial structures with plain, stucco parapets and glass storefronts.
The Ferndale Main Street Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 1994.
