Manitowoc, Wis. - The Wisconsin Historical Society placed the Lincoln Boulevard Historic District (Manitowoc, Manitowoc County) on the State Register of Historic Places on November 30, 2018.
The district is significant for its exceptional collection of homes representing many of the best examples of Tudor Revival, French Provincial, and Colonial Revival-style houses in the city of Manitowoc. The buildings in the district reflect, in microcosm, the stylistic progression of residential architectural styles popular between the 1890s and the 1960s. Construction in the district began in 1893, and homes were built along a beautiful, tree-lined boulevard at the north end of the city. The high quality of design and the thoughtful care of homeowners reflect this neighborhood as a desirable place to live in Manitowoc.
The State Register is Wisconsin's official list of state properties determined to be significant to Wisconsin's heritage. The State Historic Preservation Office at the Wisconsin Historical Society administers both the State Register and National Register in Wisconsin.
