Much of it consists of continuous rows of commercial storefronts along East 6th Street and north, in a historic commercial core area. There is also the courthouse and its annex on this side of the district, which stand separately. To the south, the historic commercial structures are independent buildings interspersed among historic houses, non-historic buildings, and parking lots, in a more transitional area. In the southeast part of the district there are brick and wooden warehouses and a small brick jail, and the one contributing object: a boulder with a historic bronze marker memorializing a visit of President George Washington. Further south is a neighborhood of historic single-family homes.[2]
