Fifth Street Bluff Historic District : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fifth Street Bluff Historic District The Fifth Street Bluff Historic District is a historic district located in Ottumwa, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.〔 ==History== As Ottumwa grew in the mid to late 19th century many of its wealthier citizens built houses on the bluff overlooking the town and the Des Moines River Valley below. By doing so they were able to move themselves away from the swampy river bottom and were able to capitalize on the view. Construction began in this part of the city in the 1850s. There were, however, three main periods of development: the 1860s, the 1890s and the 1920s. Prominent citizens who built homes on the bluff included George Morrell of John Morrell & Company, F.W. Simmons of American Mining Tools Company, G.C. Janney of Janney Manufacturing, J.W. Edgerly who was a wholesale druggist, J.H. Merrill who was a wholesale grocer and Judge H.B. Hendershott. Construction in the area was largely concluded by 1930. Italianate, Queen Anne and Tutor Revival are the most popular architectural styles that are found in the district. In 1895 the streets were paved with bricks and lined with limestone.
