Saxonburg Historic District

The Saxonburg Historic District spans nine acres containing fifty-four buildings and two cast iron fences in the central business and residential areas.

John A. Roebling established the town layout in 1831, creating wide streets with spacious residential lots intended for both housing and agricultural purposes.

The buildings reflect German settlement patterns through traditional construction methods, incorporating stone foundations and wood materials throughout the structures.

Walking tours through the district showcase preserved nineteenth-century architecture, including Greek Revival structures, churches, commercial buildings, and residential properties.

The district maintains eighty percent of its original residential structures, with cast iron fences enhancing the historical streetscape along Isabella and Rebecca Streets.
