Doctor's Park, Washington Ave. and Mill St., Cedarburg, Ozaukee County

In the Washington Avenue Historic District, highly skilled masons constructed dis­tinctive locally quarried limestone and fieldstone buildings dating from the 1840s to the early twentieth century. The district's structures were designed in Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, and vernacular architectural styles, and many were the homes and businesses of early German and Irish settlers. The architecture of the Washington Avenue Historic District illustrates every period of Cedarburg's growth and development.
