1835–1992 · NATIONAL REGISTER
The downtown the directories describe is still standing, and it is listed whole. The New Carlisle Historic District was entered in the National Register of Historic Places on 14 December 1992 (reference 92001653), roughly bounded by Front, Arch, Chestnut and Bray streets — some 24 acres taking in the Michigan Street commercial blocks and the houses behind them, in Italianate, Italian Villa and Queen Anne forms. One survivor of the district's nineteenth-century trade is on the market as this build is written: the former bakery at 125 East Michigan Street, built 1890, listed in 2026 as retail/bakery space — a bakery within living memory on the same street where Charles G. Fisher kept hotel in 1916. The nomination's forty-five-foot Michigan Street width stands in this build's sources file in its printed conflict with Howard's hundred-foot plat claim; the conflict is not re-opened here.
