Dickinson Historic District

Dickinson Historic District is a preservation area containing 46 properties that display architectural styles spanning the late 1800s through early 1900s. The collection includes residential and commercial structures representing different phases of neighborhood growth and development.

The area received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for preserving residences and commercial buildings that developed across different periods. This designation protects the structures and acknowledges their role in documenting neighborhood growth.

The buildings display traditional designs blending Colonial Revival and Victorian styles that shaped local tastes over generations. Walking through the streets reveals these architectural choices in how the community developed its residential character.

Visitors can explore the neighborhood on foot at their own pace and find informational displays describing individual structures and their backgrounds. Walking slowly allows you to notice the architectural details that distinguish each building and understand how the area developed over time.

The district preserves original patterns of community planning including street layouts and infrastructure that show how early designers shaped neighborhoods. These planning patterns have survived better than many individual structures and reveal intentional choices made about how the area should function.
