Because of the oil boom in Bowling Green, exquisitely designed homes were built near the downtown business district, reflecting the prosperity of that time. Today, many of these elegantly styled homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Stylistically, the district is an excellent representation of late 19th and 20th century architecture. Stained glass windows, wrap-around verandas, turned posts and spindles, decorative wood shingles all illustrate the expressive details and craftsmanship that went into building a home during this period. Clough Street Windmill Between North College Drive and Troup Avenue Nestled among shade trees on the edge of a spring-fed quarry is Bowling Green's most unique landmark.
