Location of district: 4th St & Spring St, Boonville
"District B is located in the central section of the multiple resource area and
basically extends north to south along 4th Street. [From Spring St. to Center St.]
"The central focus of this area is architectural, with its inner core being a
group of five Classic Box residences of a high stylistic quality (#5-9).
Adding to this streetscape are a number of residences in various styles;
however, their density and distance from the street create a pleasant, integral
atmosphere. Of special interest are the Hain house (#18) which is listed as a
primary structure due to its construction, the Coulter house (#20) with its
historical association to a prominent merchant family, the Christ Church
Episcopal (#23) for its historical and architectural merit, and the Jackson
residence (#13) with its association to an early educational facility of the
area. Connecting each element and creating an early 20th Century atmosphere is
the brick section of 4th Street (#25). Buildings included in this district
present a pleasant blend of old and new, illustrate the economy of a later
generation of wealthy families, and create a uniquely cohesive unit. The
district now contains a total of 21 contributing resources and two intrusions;
two demolitions have occurred since the preparation of the original nomination
and are identified by an asterisk." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
