West Eighth Street Historic District - The West Eighth Street Historic District is located near the downtown streets of 7th, 8th, and 9th bordered roughly by Jackson Street on the east and Henry Street on the west. This District is comprised of homes, churches, parks, commercial and public buildings, that were constructed during the last decade of the nineteenth century and first decade of the twentieth century. There are approximately 200 structures in this District in styles that represent cottages of various styles, Queen Anne styles, Free Classic, Colonial Revival styles and a good collection of notable Italianate homes. Most of these homes were constructed during the gas boom in the late 1880s, and were the homes to Anderson's business, civic and governmental leaders.
