About Downtown Bloomington Historic District
The Downtown Bloomington Historic District is the city's historic commercial heart, listed on the National Register in 1985 and centered on the 1901 McLean County Courthouse and its square. It's a walkable district of late-1800s and early-1900s storefronts, with restaurants, the arts center and offices at street level and a growing number of upper-floor lofts and condos. Buyers who want an urban, walk-everywhere lifestyle in the middle of the action look here.
