6 10 The City of Frankenmuth's Historic Preservation District is unique. It focuses both on recognition of existing or found historic character but also specifically encourages the incorporation and adoption of architecture that complements the City's Bavarian heritage. Further, substantial changes have been made to structures within the City's Historic Preservation District prior to and since its creation in the 1980s. The overwhelming intent of the HPDC is to encourage preservation and restoration whenever possible, while permitting property owners the opportunity to restore, rehabilitate and construct when other alternatives are not reasonable. e City's Historic Preservation District generally runs along Main Street/M-83, beginning at Genesee and stretching south to Jefferson. It extends east and west to Franklin Street and Hubinger to include sections of the City's older neighborhoods.
