The district encompasses 212 contributing buildings located just east of the East Fork of the Whitewater River, comprising some of the earliest extant buildings in Richmond. It developed between about 1816 and 1925 and includes representative examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, and Gothic Revival style architecture. Located in the district is the separately listed Bethel A.M.E. Church. Other notable contributing buildings include the William Paul Quinn House (c. 1835), Elijah Coffin House (1845-1847), Henry Davis House (1856), Rankempf Cottage (1855), Hall Town House (1838), Edward Frauman House (1855), and Lydia Pierce Cottage (1858).[1]
