River Street Historic District
River Street Historic District, National Historic District in downtown Wilkes-Barre, United States.
The River Street Historic District spans 191 acres containing 215 buildings constructed between 1860 and 1930 along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania.
The district received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, preserving structures that reflect the financial growth of Wilkes-Barre during industrialization.
Four churches built between 1848 and 1900 on Franklin Street demonstrate metropolitan architectural influences from New York and Philadelphia design traditions.
The district includes West Market Street, which functions as a central corridor connecting multiple significant buildings, including the Osterhout Free Library and Wyoming Historical Museum.
Local Wyoming Bluestone appears in many building foundations throughout the district, creating a consistent architectural element across different construction periods.
