Calvert Historic District

Calvert Historic District is a neighborhood of buildings from different periods that display Colonial Revival style elements. The structures feature characteristic columns, balanced facades, and traditional details such as window frames and roof lines throughout the blocks.

The district developed as Calvert grew and new buildings were designed following classical proportions and forms. The National Register of Historic Places recognized this area because its structures show how regional architecture changed over time.

The district reflects how residents valued symmetry and classic proportions in their homes and businesses. People continue to walk through these streets today, experiencing the same organized, deliberate sense of design that shaped daily life here.

Visitors can explore the district on foot, with maps and information available at the local information center. It works best to start from the main intersection and walk the street blocks at a leisurely pace.

Some buildings in the district date from the 19th century while others were added later, yet they follow the same design principles showing how this style endured across generations. This layering creates a continuous record of building practices in one location.
