The Prairie Street Historic District is a residential historic district in Columbus, Wisconsin. The district consists of thirty-nine houses, two carriage houses, and a church along a five-block section of West Prairie Street. The oldest house in the district was built circa 1860, while the most recent was built in 1936. The district is noted for its architectural diversity, a product of the large original lots being subdivided over time and contemporary houses being built on the new lots. Architectural styles represented in the district include Italianate, Queen Anne, Stick Style, Victorian Gothic, American Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Georgian Revival. The district includes works by Milwaukee architects Edward Townsend Mix, Henry C. Koch, and Van Ryn & DeGelleke. Read more on Wikipedia
