The West Bluff Historic District is one of three Registered Historic Districts in the Peoria County, Illinois city of Peoria. The district is mostly residential and is an example of the opulence once enjoyed by the upper class in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Of particular note are two contributing structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Francis W. Little House and the house at 1316 Moss Avenue. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1976.

Boundaries

The district boundaries are roughly defined by Randolph, Moss and High Streets, an area west of Western Street. In addition, some of the adjacent streets are included in the historic district.
