The Court Hill Historic District is approached from the intersection of 4th
and Court Streets, where Central Park is ringed by four large limestone
buildings: Wapello County Courthouse, Ottumwa Public Library, City
Hall/Federal Building, and St. Mary of the Visitation Church. In this area
Court Street is 82 feet wide and provides a sweeping path up the hill. Two
blocks north, at the intersection of Court and 6th streets, the Court Hill
Historic District begins. It extends north six blocks to Woodland Avenue,
and includes all resources facing Court Street. The Court Hill Historic
District is outlined by the bold lines on the map below.
