History

Most of the buildings in the district were constructed between 1850 and 1900.[2] The businesses in the area were largely designed to serve the needs of customers during the horse and buggy era. After the arrival of a railroad, an interurban and automobiles, the village's commercial center moved west. That area would become the Main Street Historic District. Additionally, a number of private homes were built in the district, most were designed in the Queen Anne architectural style.
