Park Street Historic District is a historic district in Reedsburg, Wisconsin that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1] It was listed alongside the Main Street Commercial Historic District.
It consists of 44 properties located primarily along North Park Street, and surrounding City Park.[2] Several architectural styles are present, including Italianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Late Victorian. Most buildings are single family homes, with 3 churches, and the former Reedsburg Municipal Hospital, which now houses apartments.[3]
History[edit]
City Park was founded in 1848, after being donated by early settler David C. Reed.[4] By 1850 there were about 20 homes in this area, and the street was nicknamed "Prospect Hill."[3] Most of these early homes were torn down, and none still stand. The earliest remaining homes were built in the 1870s, two examples include the Edward M. Hackett House,[5] and the Abner L. Harris House.[6] In 1906, the Presbyterian Church was built, and in 1908 St. Peter's Lutheran Church was built; the churches are on opposite corners of City Park.[3] In 1932 the Reedsburg Municipal Hospital was built on North Park Street.
