District Map
"Early Twentieth Century, circa 1905-1940. Coded D (Photos 6, 19, 23 through 26). This group of twenty-one buildings includes numerous one and
two-story commercial buildings, four residential buildings, a gas
station, depot, Masonic Lodge, and a parochial school. All show
influence of progressive 20th century design traditions, including
Craftsman, Bungaloid, Art Deco and Moderne. The Craftsman aesthetic is
best expressed ... eaves supported by large wood brackets and rectangular openings with
tripart upper sash; and in several commercial/residential buildings
which feature facades with glazed brick or terra cotta patterning along
with terra cotta stringcourses and cornice coping. These buildings usually employ rectangular
windows with tripart upper sash. ... several other buildings have corbeled
brick cornices resembling Craftsman brackets; the earlier buildings
(circa 1910) typically employ segmentally arched openings." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
Commercial . Coded With Black Bar
This designation indicates that historically the building (or part of
it) was used for commercial purposes. Since very few properties were
constructed exclusively for commerce, the black bar code at the of the property parcel generally refers to a first story storefront." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
