Old Village Historic District
Old Village Historic District, Historic district in Monroe, Michigan
The Old Village Historic District encompasses 81 acres featuring residential properties, churches, and commercial buildings along the River Raisin in downtown Monroe.
Following its establishment in 1817, the district became the center of local government when Joseph Loranger donated land for the village within Monroe County.
The district contains numerous architectural examples from the 1830s, including Federal style houses, Greek Revival structures, and Gothic Revival residences throughout its streets.
The district centers around the intersection of M-125 and M-50, known locally as Monroe Street and Front Street, extending several blocks east and south.
The district housed the Navarre-Anderson Trading Post from 1789 until 1894, when development pressures necessitated its relocation to a different location.
