context_page_description: Laurium is a village in Calumet Township, Houghton County in the U.S. state of Michigan, in the center of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The population was 1,977 at the 2010 census.
  The village is mostly surrounded by Calumet Township, with a small portion bordering Schoolcraft Township on the east. The portion of Calumet Township south of Laurium is considered part of the Florida unincorporated community.
context_section_description: In 2005, the Laurium Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The district is roughly bounded by Calumet Street on the west and south, Stable Street on the north, and North Florida and Isle Royale Streets on the east.  This area contains the entire village of Laurium save two areas added in the 1970s.
  The vast majority of the structures in Laurium were constructed during the 35 years between 1880 and 1915, and the common architectural styles in the village reflect what was popular at the time.
  Over 90% of the structures in the historic district are residential in nature, and most of those are single-family houses.  Probably the grandest of these is the Thomas H. Hoatson House (now known as the Laurium Manor Inn), a large Classical Revival style house.  The most common houses are more modest in scale and ornamentation, with two-story front-gabled houses of predominantly frame construction being the most common.
  Five churches and two schools are spread through the community, and most commercial structures are near the intersection of Hecla and Third Streets; this includes the J. Vivian, Jr. and Company Building, which is separately listed on the National Register.  These buildings are often constructed of brick and/or sandstone.
