In 1993, the Central Avenue Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it remains one of the city\u2019s special features, a place where stately brick buildings house a modern blend of restaurants, shops and businesses. Here\u2019s a quick guide to exploring the district.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>About the Central Avenue Historic District<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This district comprises the commercial center of Marshfield. The collection of buildings in the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of S. Central Avenue are important to the area\u2019s retail and commercial history. They include a variety of architecture, including Italianate, classical revival, art deco, and early twentieth century commercial styles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>What you\u2019ll find<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every building on this street has a story and they are fascinating to uncover. Step inside <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/visitmarshfield.com\/business\/2-1-2-cups-cupcakery-bake-shop\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 \u00bd Cups Cupcakery &amp; Bakeshop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at 126 S. Central Ave, and you\u2019ll find yourself in a building that was constructed at the turn of the century. It first served as a saloon and store before becoming the Majestic Hotel around 1912. The building later became a restaurant and today it\u2019s a charming bakery that produces delicious custom cakes, brownies, candies and of course, cupcakes. Most of the buildings on Central Avenue are open to the public, so it\u2019s possible to step inside and take in a bit of the history\u2014and perhaps a cupcake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other businesses in and around the district include <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/visitmarshfield.com\/dining\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">restaurants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like China Chef and Daily Grind and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/visitmarshfield.com\/shopping\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stores<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like, Endless Designs, Merle Norman Cosmetics &amp; The Day Spa Boutique and Thimbleberry Books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more than a century, Central Avenue has been the commercial heart of Marshfield.
