Monroe Residential Historic District

The National Register file reads this neighborhood through three styles: Bungalow and Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival. It qualified on two counts, as architecture and as an event in community planning and development, with a period of significance running from 1875 to 1949. The boundaries run roughly along McKinley Street, 7th Street, Hudson Lane and Riverside Drive, and the architects are listed as unknown. Forsythe Park, inside the district, once held artist Edmund Williamson's Dragonfly sculpture, one of several public pieces he left across Monroe and West Monroe.
