South Fountain Avenue Historic District, Victorian residential district in Springfield, United States
The South Fountain Avenue Historic District spans 15 blocks with late 19th and early 20th century houses displaying varied architectural designs and detailed craftsmanship.
Industrial leaders Oliver Kelly, William Whiteley, and Francis Bookwalter established residences in this neighborhood during Springfield's economic growth from 1850 to 1920.
