Lehi Main Street Historic District, historic district in Lehi, Utah, United States
Lehi Main Street Historic District is a 5-acre historic district in Lehi, Utah, with 19 contributing buildings dating from 1891 to 1934. The buildings show Italianate and Gothic styles, and include Cotter's Grocery at 4 West Main Street, the Racker Block at 24/32/36 West Main Street, and Lehi City Hall at 51 North Center Street.
The district developed between the late 1800s and early 1900s as Lehi expanded and flourished. Buildings display architectural styles like Italianate and Gothic that were prevalent during this period, reflecting the prosperity and aspirations of early residents who shaped the town's character.
The district's buildings record how Lehi's commercial life shifted: the Comer/Knight/Hosier Saloon at 116 West Main (1891) later became a market, and the 1891 Senate Saloon at 169 West Main housed the Lehi Public Library. The 1898–99 Merrihew building held a drug store and the State Bank of Lehi. These changes in use are visible in the surviving storefronts.
The district covers 5 acres (2.0 ha) along West Main Street and 51 North Center Street in Lehi. The 19 contributing buildings sit close together, so the whole stretch can be walked in a short time. There is no visitor center; use the addresses to locate individual buildings such as 98 West Main Street, separately listed on the NRHP in 1982.
The Comer/Knight/Hosier Saloon at 116 West Main Street dates to 1891, while the building at 169 West Main Street housed both the Senate Saloon and the Lehi Public Library. The 1893 Lehi Slaughtering Company Meat Market at 101 West Main Street shows how trade and civic life shared the same blocks.
