Ledyard Block Historic District
Ledyard Block Historic District, Historic commercial district in downtown Grand Rapids, United States.
The Ledyard Block Historic District encompasses seven interconnected 19th-century commercial buildings spanning 123-145 Ottawa Avenue and 104-124 Monroe Center.
Following a destructive fire in 1857, William B. Ledyard and Moses V. Aldrich initiated the district's reconstruction with their first commercial block in 1859.
The district exhibits architecture from the Late Victorian and Italianate periods through features like wooden brackets, sandstone details, and galvanized iron cornices.
The district contains multiple floors designed for retail operations on ground level and office spaces in the upper sections of the buildings.
The Ledyard Block extends 177 feet along Ottawa Avenue and 99 feet along Pearl Street, constructed with yellow brick in the Italianate style.
