The City of Plainfield has ten historic districts with a housing stock second to none!  The majestic Victorian architectural inventory surpasses some of New Jersey’s historic seaside towns.  As you stroll down West 8th Street (formerly known as millionaire's row) and Stelle Avenue you can admire the architectural heritage of a bygone era.  Through its exceptional historic preservation efforts, Plainfield’s notable architecture will be on display for many generations to come.
