Summary
Kane Street Historic District
Generally bounded by Washington Street, Perkins Boulevard, Gardner Avenue, and Randolph Street
Dates of construction of contributing buildings: 1844-1940
The Kane Street Historic District is a well-defined area of homes, churches and community buildings including a school and a Masonic Temple. The district conveys a sense of historical and architectural cohesiveness through the representation of prevailing architectural styles in the decades between 1844 and 1940. Architectural styles including Greek Revival, Queen Anne, American Foursquare, Bungalow, Colonial Revival and other Revival styles are prominent within the district.
The district also includes a cast bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln located on a triangular parkway formed within the intersection of Kane and State streets. The statue was constructed in 1913 in front of the school renamed in Lincoln's honor on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Home to many prominent residents, the houses in the district reflect the socio-economic status of their original owners. This neighborhood, with its collection of fine buildings, is well preserved and retains its historic appearance; the result is one of Burlington's most architecturally intact historic residential areas.
The homes in this district are private residences. Please respect the rights and privacy of the residents.
