The area exemplifies the importance the railroad and transportation in general played in the development of the town's central business district.^[2] Community members revitalized a plat of land the railroad had abandoned into a commercial and residential corridor. The historic district is made up of several frame buildings typical of the Late Victorian style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003.^[1]
