Take a Step Back in Time

The Broadway Historic District is a 19th century neighborhood in the heart of Rock Island, Illinois. This revitalized residential area is known for its vintage homes, exciting preservation efforts, and front porch socializing.

The neighborhood is located near Rock Island’s thriving arts-and-entertainment district and Mississippi River. Residents and visitors enjoy close proximity to parks, bike paths, schools, and shopping.

The Broadway area has earned a reputation for its architecture and neighborhood events. It was awarded the status of National Historic District in 1998 and has been recognized in Midwest Living and This Old House magazines. Hundreds of people attend the neighborhood’s annual Tour of Homes, where beautifully restored Victorian era homes are open to visitors.

Come learn more about the history of Rock Island and the Broadway District, and what makes this such a great place to live!

At least four homes in Broadway are enjoying a new paint job this fall, or at least getting prepped for next year. It was so hard to choose, we've decided to celebrate them all as this month's Renovation in Progress. Be sure to take notice as you walk or drive around the neighborhood, and encourage the homeowners as they progress in their work. 824 20th Street was one of the Great Unveiling homes from April. To read more about that program, click on the link on the left menu. We hope you'll draw inspiration for your own house!

We hope you like the newly designed web-site. If you have ideas for additions to the site, or changes you would like to see made, please email us at webmaster1@broadwaydistrict.org. We want to know what you think, and make this web-site as useful as possible.
