These 108 buildings have stories baked right into their bricks, stretching from 1902 to 1956. You’ll spot the whimsical rooflines and spindly porches of Folk Victorians, the strong lines of American Craftsman bungalows-maybe the homeowners were the original “DIYers!” Then, rounding a bend, you hit the brick and half-timbered majesty of Tudor Revival houses or the sun-soaked stucco and red tiles of Mediterranean Revivals. Every home here proudly flaunts its own personality.
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016, this district is an official time capsule of what made St. Charles tick, dream, and decorate. If you see a squirrel stop and stare, I’m pretty sure it’s just overwhelmed by all those architectural choices.
