When listed, the district included 19 critical contributing buildings, 11 additional contributing buildings and one non-essential contributing building (the synagogue).
The area includes the Union Park, an open green area, and properties around it and down South Main Street and other streets.
One property, the Caleb Fuller House at the corner of Main and Church streets, is also included in the Metro South Historic District
