The West Saint Clair Street Historic District is a residential historic district located along 124–328 West Saint Clair Street in the village of Almont in Almont Township in southeast Lapeer County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan State Historic Site and also added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1986.[1][2]

Located just west of Almont's central business district along M-53, the district consists of 15 residential houses and one library located along a single stretch of West Saint Clair Street that intersects with Church, Cherry, and Day Street—although the district contains no properties along these side streets. The district contains a variety of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, Italianate, Late Victorian, and Queen Anne.[2] The district also contain the Henry Stephens Memorial Library, which is a contributing property that was listed in its own right as a Michigan State Historic Site on May 16, 1991. Located at 213 West Saint Clair Street, the Colonial Revival structure was funded and built in 1918 by Albert Stephens, who was the son of one of Lapeer County's earliest settlers and lumber pioneers, Henry Stephens.[3]
