District Map
"One of Missouri's few rivertowns which still
retains an orientation to the river, Washington survives with
riverfront blocks which include all of the industrial buildings, two
depots, an electric power plant, a waterworks, and an underground
reservoir.
"Italianate/Second Empire, 1865-1900. Coded B (Photos # 15, 16, 17, 18, 27). These closely related styles are represented by fourteen
buildings, ten of which are two or three story brick buildings with
storefronts and flats above. Most are concentrated along Main Street.
The salient stylistic features are bold, projecting cornices with wood
brackets (some with incised scrollwork panels), or corbelled brickwork
imitating brackets, and dormered mansard roofs. In other respects the
buildings differ little from the standard 19th and early 20th century
planar brick facade articulated with segmentally arched windows. ... The 1865
board and batten depot at 401 W. Front (Photo #27, left) is the only
frame building in this group." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
