It is composed of twelve buildings in an area of 5 acres (2.0 ha), of which eleven contribute to its historic nature. The buildings are four commercial buildings along Hamilton Avenue, including the Hoffner Lodge at the corner; six small private residences on Moline Court; and the Myron Johnson Lumber Company building behind them on Langland Street. The southern portion of the block was in the 1970s occupied by a non-contributing gas station, which has since been replaced with a new apartment complex.
The district qualified for the National Register because of its distinctive historic architecture; built largely in the Italianate style, the buildings demonstrate the influence of German cultural influences in their uniform construction methods. Several houses are located in the district, along with a train station, a Masonic lodge, and a former train station.
