Most of the Queen Anne and Victorian homes were originally owned by wealthy businessmen and financiers— built to reflect their positions in the community. The downtown business district is also on the historic registry. The turn-ofthe- century buildings now accommodate offices and retail outlets, such as gift shops and antique malls.
