Located in Sioux City, Iowa, "far and away the leading site of Richardsonian influence in Iowa/'1 the Fourth Street Historic District is notable for its collection of distinctive Richardsonian Romanesque commercial buildings. Fueled by a combination of Eastern speculative investment and local development beginning in 1889, the compact 15- building district is characterized by rusticated rock-faced stonework, contrasting stone and terra cotta trim, exceptional brickwork, enriched capitals and other foliate detail, and arcades of round arches. The district retains historic integrity related to its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, and associations with a particularly prosperous period of Sioux City's historical development.
