The Downtown Historic District includes nearly 70 structures and buildings dating from the 1880s into the 1960s.  A few of the more prominent are featured here. In April 1997, a massive flood and concurrent fires heavily damaged the area.  The fires destroyed nine major buildings and severely damaged many others.  Flood water was four feet deep throughout the District.  A print brochure of the Downtown Historic District is available at the City Hall Info Center or through the HPC office.
