Downtown Waterville Historic District

The Downtown Waterville Historic District is a designated historic district in Waterville, Washington, United States. It was constructed between 1891 and World War I, as an agricultural trade center. The district includes most of the brick commercial blocks in the city center including general stores, fraternal halls, and banks. The district is distinguished by the use of local brick, cornices, arched fenestration, iron storefronts, and other period details. The buildings form the finest example of turn of the century commercial architecture in the county and are an outstanding reflection of a small city on the agricultural frontier.
