Contributing buildings in the district were built from 1842 to 1924. Here is a selection roughly in the order built: • The William and Eliza Hunt house at 1247 S. Main Street is a
Greek Revival-styled house with a
portico supported by four
Ionic columns. Hunt had it built in the 1840s at the corner of Ninth and Main Streets. Henry Mitchell later had it moved to Ninth and Lake. Mrs. J.W. Knight had it moved in 1912 to its present location. • The Lily and Henry G. Mitchell House at 905 S. Main Street is a
Dutch Colonial Revival home designed by Cecil Corwin and built in 1894 with a stone veneer unusual for the style. Behind it is a stable house that echoes the
gambrel-roof design. Henry was vice-president of the
Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company. • The Henry C. Miller house at 1110 Main Street is a 2.5-story
Georgian Revival-styled house designed by Crane and Barkhausen of Milwaukee with a giant
portico with two
Ionic columns supporting a
pediment with an elaborate carving. Henry built the house in 1898 in preparation for his marriage to his wife Cosie, and near the house of his father Joseph, at whose shoe factory Henry was a superintendent. • The Samuel Curtis Johnson house at 1737 Wisconsin Avenue is a
Picturesque Gothic cottage with steep roofs and
bargeboards designed by the founder of
S. C. Johnson & Son and built in 1903. Johnson designed the brick cottage himself and laid the
parquet floors himself. Johnson's ornamental floor business evolved into floor wax and household products. • The
Thomas P. Hardy House at 1319 S. Main Street is a
Prairie School-style house designed by
Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1905 down the side of a bluff above Lake Michigan. ==References==
