The properties are currently zoned C-4. While the addition of the Overlay District will not change the current zoning, it will help preserve the historic character of these buildings, and ensure that future changes are done in a manner consistent with the City's historic preservation guidelines.
The three buildings - McKnight Building, 107 N. Main (c. 1900); Nugent Building, 124 N. Main (c. 1900); and Huitt Café and Meat Market Building, 128 N. Main (c. 1895) - are worthy of preservation due to the following:
1. These buildings are located on the historic block of Main Street and are representative of buildings of their era.
2. These buildings are associated with persons who contributed to the development of Mansfield.
3. The overall building architecture still retains historic value despite alterations.
