[edit] Location
The old part of the city of Peoria is built on a series of two terraces. The lower terrace slopes up from the Illinois River bank to a height of 83 feet where it meets the base of the second terrace. The width of the initial terrace varies from ¾ miles to 1½ miles. The second terrace encompasses a series of bluffs which rise from 75 to 100 feet above the first terrace. The North Side Historic District is located on the initial terrace, to the north of the city's central business district and is primarily residential in nature.[1]
[edit] Boundaries
The North Side Historic District is roughly bounded by three Peoria city streets, Perry, Madison and Fayette Streets.
