Johnson City Historic District, Historic district in Johnson City, United States.
The Johnson City Historic District covers 183 contributing buildings and one contributing site in a mixed residential, commercial and industrial core of Johnson City, New York. It developed between about 1888 and 1966 and holds Romanesque Revival, Gothic Revival, Colonial Revival and Streamline Moderne architecture. Among its resources are the Goodwill Theatre, the United States Post Office, Your Home Library, the 1914–1950 St. James Roman Catholic Church Complex and the 1899 Village Hall and Fire Station.
The district grew in the 1800s when railroad lines reached the city and made it an important trading hub. This change drew business owners and workers who built the structures that stand today.
The district's name honours Sarah Jane Johnson, whose Methodist church (1927) still stands on the block. Endicott-Johnson, the shoe company that built much of the neighbourhood, left its mark in the Jigger Factory (1926), Victory Factory (1919–1920) and a company firehouse (1916). The Red Robin Diner, a 1950s stainless-steel diner, remains a local landmark.
The district covers a mixed residential, commercial and industrial core of Johnson City, with 183 contributing buildings and one contributing site spread across several blocks. The Goodwill Theatre, the United States Post Office and Your Home Library are previously listed landmarks inside it, useful as orientation points. The Village Hall and Fire Station (1899) and the Endicott-Johnson Firehouse (1916) mark other corners of the walk.
The district's 183 contributing buildings include the Endicott-Johnson company's own factories and welfare structures: the Jigger Factory (1926), Sunrise Building (1929), Victory Factory (1919–1920), New Toe Box Factory (1914) and Firehouse (1916), plus its Medical Facility (1918) and Pioneer Annex (1916). The shoe firm shaped both the district's industry and its workers' daily life.
