The district’s forty-two buildings including row houses, apartment houses, warehouses, factories and offices represent the various shifts in the neighborhood over a century. Federal brick row houses survive from the first period of development in the early 19th century.
As immigration increased the neighborhood’s population later in the century, speculative multiple-family dwellings in Italianate and Neo-Grec styles were constructed. By the 1880s, larger store-and-loft buildings and factories in Renaissance and Romanesque Revivals were constructed as the area took on a more commercial and industrial character. More residential development in the Colonial and Classical Revival styles went up at the turn of the century.
