Fourth Street Historic District

Fourth Street Historic District is an area with multiple buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that show different architectural styles. The houses stand side by side along the street, with visible details like stonework, window frames, and entryways from that period.

The district grew during Iowa's urban development in the 19th century, when local merchants and craftsmen built new structures along this street. It was later protected to preserve these buildings from decay and loss.

The buildings here show how people in Iowa lived and built at the end of the 19th century. The preserved structures tell you about local craftsmanship and the materials that were available at that time.

You can walk along the street and view the building facades and details directly. Information about individual properties and their history is available through local offices or online databases for historic sites.

Some property owners receive financial incentives for restoring their buildings according to strict guidelines. This has helped keep many of these old structures from being torn down over the decades.
