Courthouse Square Historic District, Historic district in Bloomington, US.

Courthouse Square Historic District is Bloomington's central business district, with 57 contributing buildings erected between about 1847 and 1936. It holds notable examples of Classical Revival, Beaux Arts and Italianate architecture, among them the Monroe County Courthouse, Bloomington City Hall, the Princess Theatre and the Wicks Building.

Courthouse Square Historic District developed between about 1847 and 1936 as Bloomington's central business district. Its 57 contributing buildings include the former Faulkner Hotel (c. 1847), the Odd Fellows Building (1892), and the Allen, First National Bank and Knights of Pythias buildings, all from 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

The district's name comes from the Monroe County Courthouse at its center, completed in 1908 in Beaux Arts style and still in public use. The separately listed Princess Theatre (1922) and Wicks Building stand alongside it, and the former Faulkner Hotel dates to about 1847.

You can explore the district on foot and find parking near the square to leave your car. The downtown location makes it easy to reach other areas by walking as well.

The separately listed Wicks Building, Princess Theatre, Bloomington City Hall and Monroe County Courthouse stand inside the district alongside 57 contributing buildings, so a single walk passes both individually listed landmarks and the smaller 1892 Odd Fellows Building and 1907 Allen Building.
