The Center Avenue Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and expanded in 2011. It includes an impressive collection of more than 875 structures in a wide array of styles including Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Greek revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Richardson Romanesque, Tudor Revival, Georgian Revival, Arts & Crafts and Stick styles. Of particular note is the presence of many “Kit homes” designed, built and displayed here by the Aladdin and Lewis & Liberty companies which pioneered the manufacture of kit homes from their base of operations in Bay City.
