The earliest homes appear to have been mostly small cottages set forward on the lots with large garden areas and outbuildings and stables to the rear. Originally few homes were built fronting the north-sourth sides of the streets but over time lots were subdivided and additional home s were added between the older, smaller ones. Despite significant change and growth, the most remarkable feature of the Northside is its continuity. A wide range of commercial and residential architectural styles is present. The Northside neighborhood is presently under consideration for National Register and Iowa City Historic Preservation District designation. Parking is available along most of the streets. Your cooperation in respecting the privacy of the Northside residents is greatly appreciated. |
