Downtown Woodland Historic District

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.
