"The four block Palouse Main Street Historic District is a cohesive group of two and three story brick commercial struc- tures, built between 1880 and 1920, which lies at the center of the small Washington/Idaho rural border city of Palouse. The great grain growing area, known as the Palouse Country, extends to the north, south and west of the city. The vast timber area of central Idaho lies to the east. Main Street itself bisects the City and extends on a level for nearly three-quarters of a mile, from east to west. Presently, and historically, Main Street is the sole commercialized street in Palouse. The North Fork of the Palouse River flows roughly parallel to Main Street, one-half block to the south, and has formed a small east-west running valley in which is situated the District."
