North Jefferson Street Historic District
The North Jefferson Street Historic District is a national historic district in Huntington, Indiana. Covering about 320 acres, it is roughly bounded by West Park Drive and College, Madison, Collins, Oak, Stephen, and Buchanan Streets. The district contains about 700 contributing properties and features architectural styles from mid-19th century revival to the late Victorian era.
Notable within the district are the David Alonzo and Elizabeth Purviance House (1892) at 809 N. Jefferson and the adjacent Taylor-Zent House (1898) at 715 N. Jefferson; both are separately listed and showcase Chateauesque and Victorian Romanesque styles. The district includes works by architect Elmer Dunlap and reflects Huntington’s development as a premier residential area from the 1860s onward, with large, stylish homes on both sides of North Jefferson Street.
The North Jefferson Street Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
