It has 59 contributing and 34 noncontributing buildings.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be significant under Criterion A for its role in the commerce, politics/government and social history of Woodland between 1866 and 1948. It keeps the look and function of a traditional downtown, with contiguous brick buildings at the sidewalk, retail on Main Street, and major civic and social buildings. Its integrity is described as high.","narrative":"Woodland's downtown historic district covers Main Street, First Street and nearby blocks in Yolo County, California. It holds 59 contributing buildings and 34 noncontributing ones, most of them brick, with many covered in stucco. Main Street forms the spine, and about 80 percent of the buildings have ground-floor storefronts, often with offices above. Styles range from Italianate and Richardsonian Romanesque to Mission Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival and Streamline Moderne. Notable buildings include the 1917 county courthouse, the 1936 post office and city hall, the 1906 public library, the 1905 Oddfellows hall, the 1913 Porter Building, the 1928 Hotel Woodland and the 1896 opera house. Many Main Street buildings have altered storefronts, but upper floors often keep historic detail. The district was listed for its connection to commerce, government and social life between 1866 and 1948, and for retaining the scale, materials and sidewalk-facing character of a traditional downtown.","period_of_significance":"1866-1948","architect_builder":"Weeks, William H.","architectural_style":"Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival, Classical Revival, Italianate","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Retail remains the main use; the form says only a few buildings or storefronts are vacant, and some buildings have been converted to new uses.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:26.954354-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/99000471.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000471/d4ec418bf6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99000471/d4ec418bf6-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"User:Bluewing405","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DowntownWoodland.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">User:Bluewing405</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DowntownWoodland.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123862386","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Woodland_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5303615"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/yolo-county/downtown-woodland-historic-district-99000471/"}
