Main Av Historic District
The city of De Pere is divided into east and west portions by the north-south flowing Fox River. The Main Avenue Historic District is located on the west side of this river and it contained the most intact concentration of nineteenth and early to mid-twentieth century commercial buildings that are located in the historic downtown commercial district of this portion of the city. The district consists of eighteen buildings, fourteen of which are considered to be contributing resources and more of them were built between 1883-1950 as masonry replacements for earlier buildings on the same sites. The other four buildings are considered to be non-contributing because of either their late date of construction or because they have now been greatly altered.
Of the district's fourteen contributing buildings, three were built prior to 1883; one was built in 1887; one was built in 1900; six were built between 1910 and 1920; one was built between 1920 and 1930; one was built between 1930 and 1940; and one was built between 1940 and 1950. The contributing buildings range from one to two stories in height, all of them are either rectilinear or square in plan, and all are of masonry construction. In addition to the older Commercial Vernacular Queen Anne style, and Twentieth Century Commercial style, buildings that make up the bulk of the district's resources, the district also includes a fine Neoclassical Revival style building.
