Dibbleville-Fentonville Historic District
Dibbleville-Fentonville Historic District, National Register listed historic district in Fenton, Michigan, US
The district spans 49 acres with 130 structures including residential homes, commercial buildings, churches, and public establishments along Shiawassee and Holly Streets.
Clark Dibble founded the settlement in 1834 near Indian trails and Saginaw Road, before Robert LeRoy and William M. Fenton purchased and renamed it Fentonville in 1836.
The neighborhood presents Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne architectural styles from the 1830s through early 1900s, reflecting Michigan's building evolution.
The district maintains 119 contributing structures, with 111 original residential buildings and several two-story brick commercial properties featuring cast iron storefronts.
The arrival of a railroad line in 1856 transformed the area from a rural village into an industrial center with fruit preservation plants and woolen mills.
