Doctor's Park, Washington Ave. and Mill St., Cedarburg, Ozaukee County 

Even before Cedarburg incorporated in 1885, the community thrived with mills, shops, hotels, churches, and residences, many of which remain in Cedarburg's commercial center as part of the Washington Avenue Historic District. The district is anchored on the south by St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church and on the north by the Woolen Mill, extending about five blocks and including over 100 properties. On January 17, 1986, the Washington Avenue Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
