Calumet Downtown Historic District
Calumet Downtown Historic District, Historic commercial district in Calumet, Michigan, United States.
The district spans Fifth and Sixth Streets between Scott and Pine Streets, featuring 62 structures built with sandstone, brick, and decorative terra cotta elements.
The district emerged during the copper mining boom of 1880-1910, when the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company produced over half of the United States copper.
Immigrant workers from Cornwall, Ireland, Germany, Italy, and Poland established communities, churches, and social halls throughout the neighborhood during the mining period.
The Keweenaw Storytelling Center operates in the former Woolworth Building at 215 Fifth Street, while the Upper Peninsula Fire Fighters Memorial Museum occupies the old fire station.
Three buildings on the 100 block of Fifth Street were lost to fire in 2021, altering the continuous line of nineteenth-century commercial structures.
