Bounded by Water, Monroe, Adams and Michigan streets, this district is one of the few remaining historic districts in the state that shows the early development of a Wisconsin community in the 1830s and 1840s. Its two residences, mill house and hotel, built between 1837 and 1848 in the Greek Revival style, were owned by pioneer settler and entrepreneur Charles D. Cole. After a Sheboygan River bridge was built in 1839, this area declined and Sheboygan Falls developed on the west side of the river.
