The district covers the "Old Downtown" area, along Magnolia Avenue from the Lark Creek Inn at 234 Magnolia Avenue to the platform on the former railway, now a bicycle path. The avenue has been the commercial center of activity in Larkspur since the town was founded. In 1980, the Larkspur City Council designated it to be a local historic district and rezoned it as an overlay H Zone.[2]
The historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] It was asserted that the district is significant because it still has the ambiance of a small California town in the 1900–1930 era.[2]
