Los Gatos Historic Commercial District
Historic district in California, United States / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Los Gatos Historic Commercial District of Los Gatos, Santa Clara County, California is a designated U.S. Historic District area of the city. The commercial district comprises a collection of commercial buildings that is bounded by both sides of West Main Street, North Santa Cruz Avenue, and University Avenue. These streets form an F-plan layout extending westward from the Main Street bridge situated in the southwestern region of the town of Los Gatos.[2] The district covers the town's original commercial intersection and includes a substantial segment of its 19th-century commercial center. Within this area lies the sole surviving cluster of historic commercial buildings, reasonably well-preserved.[3] The architectural styles within the district span from the Queen Anne style architecture and Richardsonian Romanesque, representing a broad spectrum of design trends, including Art Deco.[4] The Los Gatos Historic Commercial District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1991.[5] Today, the historic commercial district remains a commercial hub and plays a role in local tourism.[4]
