The bulk of the buildings in the district were built between 1880 and 1930 as the city grew in stature. Sustained by the railroads, coal and mining, Evanston's central business district reflected the area's prosperity. A later oil boom brought further development. Significant buildings include the city hall, the courthouse-post office, Downs' Opera House and the Strand cinema.[2][3]
The Strand burned in 2007. Its shell remains vacant and is being considered for restoration.[4]
The district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
