It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its architectural significance.St. Luke's parish was established in 1842, the ninth Episcopal parish in Wisconsin. Its first church building burned in 1866. That same year E. Townsend Mix of Milwaukee began designing the replacement, which remains the current church building. Lucas Bradley built it. Its style is Gothic Revival, with walls of cream brick, buttresses, a rose window above the main entrance, lancet windows, and a 150-foot corner tower turned 45 degrees from the rest of the building. The steeple is octagonal, with four clocks from the Seth Thomas Co. The church is close to the same design that Mix used for First Methodist in Monroe.Behind the church on 7th Street is the Chapel of the Holy Spirit. It was originally built in 1849 as an early fire station — Engine House No. 3. In 1899 it was donated to the church and converted to a chapel. In 1930 it was restyled Gothic Revival to complement the church.In 1898 the parish built a guildhall west of the firehouse.

The Old Main Street Historic District in Racine, Wisconsin is an area including a section of Main Street and which is roughly bounded by Second St., Lake Ave., Fifth St., and Wisconsin Ave. It is a 17-acre (6.9 ha) area with elements dating back to 1847. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.In 1987, it included 73 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the area, most built during the 1879s to 1920s, and 22 non-contributing buildings. It comprises portions of eight blocks.A sample of buildings: The Durand and Hill Block at 246 Main St. was built around 1849. It was designed by Lucas Bradley, Racine's first architect, and may have originally been Greek Revival-styled. But it was damaged in the fire of 1882 and probably restyled as then-modern Italianate when it was repaired. It is three stories tall, with four pilasters framing the windows on the upper stories and with a bracket atop each pilaster supporting the elaborate pressed-metal cornice. The building initially housed offices of Henry Durand, a businessman who dealt in land, produce, lumber, coal, and shipping. He also claimed to have issued the first insurance policy in Wisconsin. The McClurg Building at 245 Main St. was begun in 1857, and is the finest of Italianate-style buildings in the district. The four buildings at 320, 322, 324 and 326 Main St. carry a similar design, though they had different owners and were built at different times. All are 2-stories tall, 3 bays wide, with similar cornices, and Italianate styling. The Sebastian Besick building at 320 Main was built first, in 1869, with three round-arched windows. The middle two buildings were built the following year, with very similar designs, except the upper windows are a bit smaller. They are the Peil, Ritter & Schmeisser building at 322 Main and the John Neumann building at 324 Main. The John Liegler building at 326 Main was built much later, in 1901, with smaller windows with the arches flattened. The Henry Werner building at 327 Main St. was built in 1880, a brick saloon and tailor shop an unusual wide bay window on the second story, with accents in red sandstone against pale brick, and only a partial cornice.The Chauncey Hall Building at 338-40 Main St. was built in 1883, a Queen Anne design by E. Townsend Mix.The Thomas Driver and Sons Manufacturing Company at 214 State St. was built in 1888, a cream brick sash and door factory. The F.J. Mrvicka Saloon at 231 Main St. was built in 1891 by the Pabst Brewing Company to promote their beer. It was designed by Arnold Heinen in Queen Anne style, with a wooden bay window on each side of the second story, each bay topped with a pagoda-like roof curving up to a dormer and weather vane. The gable between is elaborately decorated. In the 1920s the facade was reworked in a half-timbered style to fit the German restaurant that operated there. The Miller Brewing Company Saloon, just down the street at 237 Main St., was built in 1902 in Romanesque Revival style, and may be little changed from when it was built.The Shoop Building at 222 Main St. was designed by James Gilbert Chandler and built from 1893 to 1902 for Dr. Clarendon I. Shoop, whose patent medicines were sold around the world until passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. The Hugh Gorton Building at 400 Main St. was probably designed by James Gilbert Chandler. His offices operated out of the second floor from 1899 to 1918. Before that, Hugh Gorton ran a butcher shop at this location. The building later housed a hat shop.The Martin M. Secor Building at 239-41 Main St. was built in 1904, a 4-story red brick building with stone trim designed by A.L. Flegel to complement the McClurg building, which Secor then owned next door. The Racine Fire Department Engine House No. 5 at 300 Fourth St. was designed by Albert Arthur Guilbert and built in 1907, two stories with a four-story corner watch-tower. Its horizontal lines suggest Prairie Style. The YMCA building at 217 Fourth St., built in 1915, was also designed by Guilbert, showing some Prairie Style elements in a massive 4-story building. The Manufacturer's National Bank at 440 Main St. was remodeled in 1919 to a Neoclassical white marble facade. The Second Journal Printing Company Building at 212 Fourth St. is a 2-story building designed by Lambert Bassindale with rectangular Prairie Style lines and geometric designs and arrays of Chicago-style windows. Zahn's Building at 500 Monument Square is a 4-story department store designed by Edmund Bailey Funston in Chicago Commercial style with prominent arrays of windows and built in 1924. The Paramount Radio Stores Building at 318 Main St. had its facade remodeled in 1929, skinned over with pink glazed terra cotta tiles topped with a fake mansard roof of green Spanish tile. The White Tower Restaurant at 235 Main St was built by a restaurant chain of the same name, a one story with a 1.5-story tower on the corner, all covered with white glazed brick. The restaurant served short-order food from this building 24 hours a day from construction in 1929 until 1964.

The Historic Sixth Street Business District is a set of largely intact two and three-story shops along the main road coming into Racine, Wisconsin from the west. Most of the buildings were constructed from the 1850s to the 1950s. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Racine's settlement began in 1834 when Gilbert Knapp claimed 140 acres of land on both sides of the Root River, platting them in 1836 as the Village of Racine. Meanwhile, Stephen Campbell claimed another area to the west, which ended up platted as the Harbor Addition. At first, most of the village's buildings (cabins and houses) were in a clearing south of the river at the foot of Main Street, and the area that became this business district was far out in the woods. But in 1838 Congress allocated money to build a military road from Racine to Janesville, and it ran through the area of Sixth and Seventh Streets. With that, this area became an important route in and out of Racine from the west. The first businesses developed along Main Street south of the river, but in 1848 when the Racine and Rock River Plank Road was built from Monument Square west along Sixth Street and heading out of town to the west, the business district turned west and began to grow along Sixth Street. Here is a sample of the district's significant buildings in the order built, showing the progression of styles and functions through the years. The Ernst Hueffner Building at 409 Sixth St is a modest 2-story, cream brick shop with living quarters above, built in 1861. The style is Italianate, with round-arched windows on the second story with window hoods of molded limestone. The detail on the second story is intact. The Stephen Campbell Building at 407 Sixth St is a 2-story building with elaborate brickwork in Italianate style. In this one the three second-story windows have windows topped with segmental arches built of three layers of brick which suggest hood moldings. Above that is a cornice with corbels and crosses in the brickwork. Osborn and Osgood's Block at 205-207 Sixth St is a 3-story building in Italian Renaissance revival style built in 1863. The windows on the upper stories are framed with round arches and pilasters which form arcades. On the third floor the original windows remain, with a trefoil design in the upper sashes. St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Chapel, Guildhall, and Rectory at 624 Main St. is an Episcopal church built in Gothic Revival style in 1866 and 1867. The Jacob and Charlotte Schad Building at 308 Sixth St was built in 1873, a 2-story Italianate building with brick hood moldings, limestone sills, and a brick cornice. It is rightmost in the photo above. It was built as a saloon for Charles Madory who lived upstairs. Just left of it in the photo is the very similar August Garnkaufer tailor shop at 310 Sixth St, built in 1874. Garnkaufer also lived in the quarters above his shop. The Fire Museum at 700 Sixth St was built in 1881 as Racine Fire Department Engine House No. 3. The building is a two-story flat-roofed Italianate structure with a three-story tower designed by David R. Jones. Company 3 was one of two volunteer companies formed in 1849, and consisted almost entirely of Welsh immigrants. The First Augustine Furniture Company Building at 221 Sixth St is a 3-story furniture store designed in Italianate style by David R. Jones and built in 1881. Samuel Augustine and his son John ran the store until 1920. The Rickeman Grocery Building at 415 Sixth St is a 2-story Italianate building with a front of cream brick and limestone trim, topped with a cornice of pressed sheet metal. George Rickeman had immigrated to the U.S. in 1853 and served in the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry during the Civil War. He ran a wine, liquor and grocery business on this site starting in 1872, and the new building housed his grocery and saloon until he died in 1894. The street-level facade was probably remodeled in the early 1900s. That was covered in the 1970s with a more modern (shingled awning) facade, but the street-level is now restored to its 1910 character. The Gertrude Fleisher Building at 613 Sixth St was built as a 2-story dry goods store in 1884. The styling is Italianate, similar to the Rickeman Grocery above, but simpler and with the storefront probably little changed from 1884, other than paint. The YMCA Building at 314-320 Sixth St is a three-story building designed by Racine architect James Gilbert Chandler and built in 1886. The architectural style is Queen Anne, typified by the bay windows, the corner turret, and the variety of surface textures. The Church of the Good Shepherd at 625 College Ave. is a Romanesque Revival-styled building designed by James Gilbert Chandler and built in 1895. This Universalist congregation was founded in 1842, the third church in Port Gilbert/Racine. Prominent members included Gilbert Knapp (founder of Racine) and J.I. Case. P.T. Barnum donated/lent the congregation $500 to buy the lot for their first church on Monument Square in 1851. Olympia Brown, the first woman ordained by a regularly established denomination in the U.S., served as minister from 1878 to 1887, when she resigned to focus on work for women's suffrage. The Robinson Building at 201-203 Sixth St is a 5-story office building built around 1900. It was designed by C.A. Dickhaut in an eclectic style. Some of the arrays of windows are grouped Chicago-style. Some are framed by Neoclassical pilasters which lead up to a cornice decorated with an egg and dart motif. The Frank Lintner Building at 613 Wisconsin Ave is a unique 3-story building with two huge bay windows at the second and third story and a sheet metal cornice. It is built of sand brick with limestone trim. This type of brick was produced by William and Chauncey Lathrop's Sand Brick Chemical Company until it proved less durable than conventional bricks, around the time this building was constructed. The Ernest Johnson Building at 209 Sixth St is a 3-story brick structure with a facade of white glazed terra cotta, built in 1911. The Constance Dombrowski Building at 516 College Ave is a 3-story building clad in stucco on the second and third floors and topped with a denticulated pressed sheet metal cornice. The First Ernst Klinkert Building at 615 Sixth St was built in 1915 as a 2-story tavern and pool hall. The exterior is red brick trimmed in limestone. The cornice at the top and the hint of a pediment are Neoclassical in style, but the rectangular lines of brick and the horizontality show the influence of Prairie Style. Klinkert was an immigrant from Frankfurt who worked for Valentine Blatz in Milwaukee before he bought Phillip Shelling's City Brewery, which grew into the E. Klinkert Brewing Company, the largest brewery in Racine. The Badger Building at 610 Main St is a 4-story office building designed in Prairie Style by Edmund Bailey Funston and built in 1915. The Robert E. Miller Building at 219 Sixth St is a more modest Prairie Style structure built in 1915 to house Miller's floral company. Over 100 years later, Miller's Flowers is still in the family, still in the same building. The American National Bank Building at 302-304 Sixth St is a 3-story building in its own style, red brick trimmed in limestone and decorated with three rosettes. It was built in 1918. The George Kamm Building at 522 College Ave was built in 1926 as an automobile showroom, a 3-story Commercial style building. The Century Motor Company Building at 512-522 Sixth St was built as a showroom for Studebaker automobiles in 1927. Its horizontal lines and yellows and greens are Prairie Style. The geometric ornaments and colored terra cotta show an influence of Art Deco. The Fred J. Hermes Building at 614-616 Sixth St was built in 1927, a 3-story building suggesting Spanish Colonial Revival style. The front is brown brick with limestone trim. At the top the parapet is decorated with carved shields, medallions, and twisted balusters. Kaiser's at 218 Sixth St is a 2-story store with a facade redone in 1928 in glazed pink terra cotta designed by Frank J. Hoffman in an Art Deco style. It housed Maurice and Helen Kaiser's men's clothing store for forty years. It stands little altered from 1928. The First National Bank Trust Department at 216 Sixth St is next door to Kaiser's, and similar in style. It is also Art Deco designed by Frank J. Hoffman, but here the medium is gray granite and it was built in 1933. The Fred W. Plath Building at 405 Sixth St is a one-story store built in 1930, with large display windows and the exterior walls finished in green marble and glazed white terra cotta, with terra cotta decorations.
