like many centers developed in the wake of city beautiful, the civic district is largely neoclassical in design. kenosha native joseph lindl, in association with charles lesser and albert schutte, designed the kenosha county courthouse and jail, which was completed in 1925. the kenosha high school, planned by school design specialist charles d. chubb, was completed a year later. the loyal order of moose built a clubhouse at the corner of 56th street and tenth avenue. they used the building until 1943. the final two buildings of the district were added in 1933. the former united states post office, constructed in 1909 in another part of the city, was moved to the civic district. designed by supervising architect james knox taylor, the building was re-purposed as the kenosha public museum. the last building constructed in the district was a new post office on sheridan road.
