Provo East Central Historic District, Historic district in Provo, Utah, United States

Provo East Central Historic District is a historic district in Provo, Utah, roughly bounded by 100 East, 500 North, 600 East and 500 South. It holds 599 contributing buildings, most built between 1900 and 1925, in Bungalow/Craftsman, Prairie School and Late Victorian styles. The Charles E. Loose House is among its contributing properties.

The district emerged during Provo's expansion in the early 1900s when the city grew rapidly and needed new residential areas. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, marking its importance as a record of this growth period.

The district's name comes from its position east of Provo's centre, and its housing stock reflects the 1900–1925 building boom, when Bungalow/Craftsman, Prairie School and Late Victorian styles were used side by side. The Charles E. Loose House is a contributing property; its Prairie School lines are the detail to look for while walking the blocks.

The area works best for walking, since you can view the different house styles and details from the street. The district covers several blocks, so plan time for exploring and wear comfortable shoes.

The Charles E. Loose House is one of the district's contributing properties, and the district was enlarged on the National Register in 2026, nearly three decades after its 1998 listing.
