The district counts 380 good background houses, 59 or more pivotal structures, 58 intrusions and 3 unclassified structures. The inventory lists Italianate, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Tuscan Villa and post-colonial houses, mostly from the 1850s and 1860s. Notable buildings include the 1875 Town Hall by Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford, the 1860 Swedenborgian church in the style of A. J. Downing, the 1880 Willis and Dooley Block, and the 1880 railroad depot.
