The historic district occupies several blocks featuring buildings constructed in the early 1900s through the 1930s. The architecture displays various styles with pitched roofs, porches, and facades typical of that period.

The district formed around 1900 as a port town with buildings constructed through the 1930s. These structures reflect a time when the city grew and thrived as a working harbor.

Religious buildings shaped how the community gathered and celebrated together over time. These structures remain central gathering spaces that define the character of the streets today.

You can walk through the district at your own pace and examine the buildings and streetscapes closely. The area is accessible to visitors who want to read the history displayed in the building details.

The district once contained a school building constructed in 1930 that was later demolished. This structure marked a turning point in how the community adapted and changed over time.
