Spring-Douglas Historic District, Elgin
A Elgin, IL neighborhood: what the housing is, what is nearby, and what has closed there.
Located directly north of downtown along the east bank of the Fox River, this district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The housing stock includes late nineteenth and early twentieth century Queen Anne, Italianate, and Craftsman single-family homes set along gridded, tree-lined residential streets.
