The Washington Avenue Historic District is located in Downtown West, St. Louis, Missouri along Washington Avenue, and bounded by Delmar Boulevard to the north, Locust Street to the south, 8th Street on the east, and 18th Street on the west. The buildings date from the late 19th century to the early 1920s. They exhibit a variety of popular architectural styles of those years, but most are revival styles or in the commercial style that would later come to be known as the Chicago School of architecture. Most are large multi-story buildings of brick and stone construction, built as warehouses for the St. Louis garment district. Many have terra cotta accents on their facades. After World War II, the decline in domestic garment production and the preference for single-story industrial space led to many of the buildings being vacant or underused due to functional obsolescence.

The Waterloo East Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Waterloo, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. At the time of its nomination the district consisted of 36 resources, including 28 contributing buildings, and eight non-contributing buildings. The city of Waterloo was established in the early 1850s. Its first settlers started developing the west side of the city before crossing the Cedar River and developing east side. The first Black Hawk County Courthouse was built on the east side in 1856 and East Waterloo Township was created two years later. As industry began to develop along the river, and the arrival of the first railroad in 1861, the commercial district on the east side began to grow. Also on the east side of town was the terminus of the streetcar-turned-interurban system. By 1900, the city became one of the primary wholesale and retail centers in northeastern Iowa. In 1911 the Black population increased significantly as workers, primarily from Mississippi, moved into town to work for the Illinois Central Railroad. The following year the saloons in town were closed and bootlegging, gambling, drugs, and prostitution started to increase in the area surrounding the central business district. All of these developed put together created the atmosphere of the downtown commercial district.

The Zebediah F. and Mary H. Wetzell House, also known as St. John Neumann House, is a historic building located in St. Louis, Missouri. Zebediah Wetzell was a native of Washington, D.C., and grew wealthy from the drug and medical supply store he established along the St. Louis riverfront. His wife Mary was a native of Kentucky, and the couple had this house built in 1880 in what was then a fashionable neighborhood on the edge of the city. The three-story brick Second Empire residence is one of two remaining examples of a high-style version in Midtown and one of the only brick examples left in the city. However, at the time it was built the home was one of several found in the Second Empire style in this section of St. Louis. By the turn of the 20th-century, wealthy citizens were moving to the Central West End and Midtown was becoming a commercial area. After Mary Wetzel died in 1897 the house became a residential rental property. In 1946, the concrete block structure adjoining the house to the north and west was built. The facility housed Albert A. Franklin's carpet and rug business. Other businesses occupied the property until it was sold in 1986 to the Redemptorists, a Catholic religious order of men, for their pre-novitiate students who attended Saint Louis University. The neighboring Pendennis Club Apartment Building was also a part of the complex. The Redemptorists moved out in 2007, and the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
