This district is the largest of the neighborhood business districts. It consists of several single, small commercial buildings, one of which has businesses in a second story, and several converted residences. Additionally, the city building, a large residentially detailed Tudor structure, is located here, set back from the road by a large lawn. The road itself has parallel parking along one side and short term diagonal parking in front of the city building.
