In January of 2003, the “Lily of
the Valley” National Historic Register District” was officially listed by the
National Park Service. The nomination work was prepared by the Taylor and Taylor
firm from Brookville, and was funded by the Ridgway Heritage Council and the Stackpole-Hall Foundation. The district, as defined by the Pennsylvania
Historical and Museum Commission, includes the downtown business district and a
substantial residential section on the south side of Ridgway. There are
approximately 730
contributing historic properties in the district. The district is roughly
bounded by the Borough line on the South, Hyde Avenue Extension, East Main
Street and Sherman Avenue on the east, Erie Alley, Race Street, Main Street and
Elm Street on the north, and North Broad Street, State Street and Water Street
on the west.
