The district runs along several blocks on both banks of the Huron River through the middle of Ypsilanti, and holds roughly four hundred contributing structures in two separate commercial cores: Michigan Avenue and the depot area on Cross Street. Michigan designated the original portion a state historic site in 1973 and it was listed nationally in 1978, with further additions listed in 1989. It is the reason a town of this size still reads as a nineteenth century one at street level.
