Clark Street-Main Street Historic District in Stevens Point

The beautiful Clark Street-Main Street Historic District includes a range of residential architectural styles popular during its period of development between 1855 and 1965.  The district conveys a sense of historical and architectural cohesiveness through its designs of 120 homes, fine and often outstanding examples of the most popular architectural styles including Italianate, Queen Anne, Craftsman, Bungalow, Prairie School, Neoclassical Revival, Tudor Revival, and Colonial Revival styles.  Collectively, these buildings reflect national trends in domestic architecture and typify the stylistic and historic evolution of the district itself and of the larger residential area that surrounds it.  The district is also noteworthy for being the home of many of the most prominent persons that lived in Stevens Point during this period.  The homes within the Clark Street-Main Street Historic District are well maintained, resulting in a district of distinction and beauty. 

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.
