Jackson Downtown Historic District - Jackson, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Jackson Downtown Historic District retains much of its historic appearance and function. The district contains seventy-five buildings constructed during the past 145 years along Main, Water, Court, Summit and California Streets. Only seven buildings date from after 1949. Most are in retail use, although major governmental buildings and social halls are included as well. Size varies considerably, but no structure tops four stories. Nearly all the buildings are built out to the lot lines in front, and most have no separation from the structures on adjoining parcels. Brick is by far the most common construction material, though it is often covered with stucco. The district has only a few examples of architectural styles. Most buildings were designed merely to be functional or have lost stylistic coherence because of alterations. Often the alterations predate 1949 or are limited to storefronts. The district includes fifty-eight buildings that contribute to its historic character, seventeen that do not contribute, one noncontributing park, two parking lots on separate parcels, and two empty parcels. The district's integrity is high due to the concentration of resources, the proportion, size, and importance of the contributors, and the relative inconspicuousness of non-contributors."
