Comments:
The West Point Unified Historic District combines three previously listed historic districts along with new areas to better reflect the growth and development and architectural heritage of West Point. With 401 resources, the unified district contains the most cohesive group of historically and architecturally significant government, institutional, commercial and residential buildings in the city. From the antebellum Moses Jordan House to the late 1950s Clay County Courthouse, the resources in the district illustrate the development of West Point from minor railroad stop to a modern city. Letitia Wright, preservation consultant, and MDAH architectural historians Susan Tietz and Bill Gatlin wrote the National Register nomination.
