The Central City Commercial Historic District is a historic district located in Central City, Iowa, United States. Much of Central City’s commercial district was destroyed in a fire in 1889. Local entrepreneurs rebuilt the area as quickly as possible. Paul Sigmund, a noted local contractor-builder, built a group of buildings after the fire. The historic district exemplifies the importance transportation played in the development of the central business district. Several architectural styles are also featured in the district including Late Victorian, Prairie School, Commercial style and Art Deco. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003.
