It is roughly bounded by Salem and Summer Streets, Main and Court Streets, Whitman Street and Fisher Avenue, and Winnebago Street, Ridge and North Avenues.","why_significant":"The district is presented as an intact late 19th- to early 20th-century neighborhood, a 'time capsule' of styles with very few modern intrusions. 96% of principal structures date from 1870-1935, and nearly half were built in the 1890s. Queen Anne, Shingle Style and vernacular types such as Gable Front and Gabled Ell make up 55% of the buildings. It records an intense period of middle-class residential growth on the west side as residents moved out from Downtown.","narrative":"Sixteen blocks on Rockford's west side make up a residential neighborhood that preserves the look of the city's late 19th-century growth. It holds 362 principal buildings, and about 96% of them date from 1870 to 1935, with nearly half built in the 1890s. Most are single-family homes on narrow lots of roughly 40 by 120 feet, with consistent setbacks, sidewalks, mature street trees and rear garages. Queen Anne and Shingle Style houses are the leading high styles, joined by vernacular forms such as Gable Front, Gabled Ell, L-Form and T-Form, plus American Foursquare houses, apartment buildings and a few Colonial and Renaissance Revival examples. The former Garrison School, built in 1887 and designed by George Bradley, is now residential lofts. Only thirteen principal structures are non-contributing. Although artificial siding covers many original clapboard walls, historic forms, porches, windows and doors largely remain. The district was listed for its cohesive, well-preserved record of middle-class housing from a narrow period of development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian (Queen Anne, Shingle Style); Late 19th and Early 20th Century Revivals (Renaissance Revival, Colonial Revival); Gable Front, Gabled Ell, L-Form, T-Form, American Foursquare","criteria":[],"status_note":"Largely intact residential neighborhood; the former Garrison School is now residential lofts and the Garrison gymnasium is commercial offices.
