  • Sight Category: Historic District

The East Main Street Historic District, a corridor containing 103 structures along East Main Street and adjacent streets, consists of architecturally and historically significant buildings along this thoroughfare. The proposed district is composed of predominately single family, owner occupied residences, with a few duplexes, multiple family dwellings and two churches. Consistency of design and appearance have been maintained through the years by near uniform setbacks of approximately 30 feet, wide and deep lots that originally extended south and north to parallel streets providing spacious front lawns, the lack of fencing providing an uninterrupted vista from lot to lot, and large shade trees lining both sides of the street. The structures are predominantly of brick, two or three stories high, with end gable or hip roofs. Many exhibit broad and highly-decorated porches. Overall, the buildings located within the boundaries of the proposed district have undergone few visible exterior changes and have maintained a high degree of architectural integrity. - NRHP, 24 May 1985
