The Main Street Historic District
Bowling Green was first platted in 1835. The Main Street Historic District represents the commercial buildings constructed around Bowling Green's brief "boom era" in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the first story storefronts have been altered, but the upper stories are generally intact. Queen Anne and Classical Revival style buildings dominate the district, although other styles are also represented, namely the Italianate and Romanesque Revival. The district emanates from the central intersection of Main and Wooster Streets.
