The Depot Hill Historic District consists of an historically notable collection of fourteen mostly intact nineteenth and twentieth century commercial buildings that range in size from two large a stylistic utilitarian form tobacco warehouses to a small Craftsman style gasoline filling station. This district comprises the eastern end of the city of Stoughton’s historic commercial core, most of whose buildings are arrayed along both side of the east-west running thoroughfare know as Main Street. The district’s resources also line both side of a two-block-long stretch of East Main Street, which is crossed near the district eastern end by the still active north-south-running tracks of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad. The twelve contributing district resources were built between 1885 and 1939 and this, not surprisingly, display a variety of architectural styles and vernacular forms. These styles range from Italianate to Art Moderne to Commercial Vernacular. Regardless of their type, style, or form, though, all but one of these buildings exhibit masonry wall cladding.
