Description Edit

Within its boundaries of Black, College, Hudson, and Spring streets are located thirty-eight contributing properties, spread out over an area of 88 acres (36 ha).[1] The properties include some of Silver City's most significant commercial, government, religious, and residential buildings. The commercial area is mainly located along Broadway and Bullard Street; most of the commercial buildings are two-story brick structures, and many feature cast iron storefronts. The Grant County Courthouse, which was designed and built in 1930, is located at the end of Broadway. The houses in the district are also mainly brick, a locally abundant building material; they represent a variety of architectural styles, including a number of Second Empire works. Five churches are included in the district; these include Gothic Revival and Mission Revival designs.[2]

The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
