"District F, which extends basically north and south along 6th and 7th Streets, is in the East Central section of the multiple resource area and is basically residential.
"An extremely cohesive district, this residential area creates a definite sense of time and place. The setting is generally large Italianate homes set back on large lots along a tree lined street. The similarity of style is related to a high quality of workmanship and an intense use of brick. This common building material is also used for structures of other styles which also appear in this area. Continuous development along these streets added a variety of styles ... They are fine examples of the cottage style which developed in Boonville and are found scattered throughout the community. Within a few years they will be eligible for inclusion and because of their place in this neighborhood they are therefore a part of this district rather than listed as intrusions. The small number (5) of intrusions do not affect the associations of units or the effect of the whole. A brief description of each property follows and will further exemplify the integral and cohesive quality of this district which now contains
37 contributing resources. Three buildings have been demolished since the preparation of the original nomination and are identified by an asterisk. " ~ NRHP Nomination Form
