History

The men after whom Allegan's downtown streets were named - Elisha Ely, Samuel Hubbard, Charles Trowbridge, Pliny Cutler, and Edmund Monroe - settled in the area in 1833. They considered the site a prime location for industry, due to its potential for waterpower (since it straddled the Kalamazoo River) and waterbound transportation. By 1835, a dam and sawmill had been established. The Kalamazoo River is a river in the U.S. state of Michigan. ...

In 1886, a one lane bridge was built over the Kalamazoo River to connect limited highway M-89 to the downtown area. The bridge fell into disrepair and was going to be removed until a group of activists raised the money to restore the bridge in 1983. Now a highlight of Allegan, the one lane bridge is used in the city logo and is considered an important part of the city. The Kalamazoo River is a river in the U.S. state of Michigan. ...

Waterfront Plaza

A longtime industrial town, Allegan's downtown waterfront fell into disrepair and environmental pollution by the late 1960s and early 1970s. The potential for loss of an aging iron bridge would cause the citizenry of Allegan to focus on community history, en masse, for an event that solidified Allegan's view toward community architectural preservation. The Second Street Bridge in Allegan is a whipple-trough truss bridge erected by the King Iron Bridge Company (Cleveland, Ohio) in 1886. Used as a two-lane bridge until discussions about its demise began in 1970s, the City of Allegan experienced an unprecedented and consistent outcry not to demolish its most prominent downtown trademark. City planners often commented the downtown district would be better served by a more modern, two lane structure, a common progressive view that has resulted in the demise of thousands of historic structures nationwide. As a result of community efforts and the successful application for federal grants, the Second Street Bridge was renewed for likely another century of service. The only noticeable modifications are the installation of wood in the decking of the bridge, reduction of traffic to one lane and the installation of traffic lights at both ends. Allegan received national recognition in the form of The National Historic Preservation Award, one of fifteen such recipients in the United States. Focus on preservation of the downtown business district and timeless residential homes has continued as a theme in Allegan since the two-year bridge restoration (1981-1983).

BridgeFest

For several years in the late 80s and 90s, Allegan held a city festival called "Bridgefest" in honor of the Second Street Bridge. The "Old Iron Bridge", as it is referred to by residents, remains the most common logo and identifying characteristic of historic Allegan, Michigan. The Second Street Bridge served also as an ideal "second chance" for Allegan residents to gain footing against progressive construction. Faced with legitimate needs to modify or replace aging structures, Allegan also began taking inventory of its well-preserved architectural wealth. In 1953 the City of Allegan gave its unique architectural history a back seat to progress and demolished its then 65 year old Richardsonian Romanesque styled courthouse. The previous courthouse, a magnificent structure incapable of meeting the growing office space needs of the city, was leveled in favor of a modern structure that serves as Allegan County's courthouse today. Many of Allegan's senior residents can recall the old courthouse with reverence, and vividly contrast apathy that consumed the courthouse with activism that saved the Old Iron (Second Street) Bridge. BridgeFest no longer exist due to lack of interest. Richardsonian Romanesque has both French and Spanish Romanesque characteristics, like the First Presbyterian Church in Detroit, Michigan by architechs George D. Mason and Zachariah Rice in 1891 Richardsonian Romanesque is a style of American architecture named after architect Henry Hobson Richardson, whose masterpiece is Trinity Church, Boston in Massachusetts. ...

Historical District

Much of Allegan's historic architecture dates to an odd Civil War era windfall received by Union Army General Benjamin Dudley Pritchard. Pritchard's apprehension of Confederate States President Jefferson Davis led to a $100,000 bounty that would forever alter the Allegan residential district. Pritchard shared his reward with troops who, like Pritchard, chose to settle in Allegan. With financial gifts from Pritchard and the continued growth of Allegan as a center for business, the valuable downtown properties were populated with stately homes of impressive architecture. Much of these homes remain, with only minor modification, today. Owners of distinctive Allegan homes are often well-versed in the history of their houses, with stories passing from owner to owner, generation to generation. It is not uncommon to hear exactly which political power, war hero or business magnate stayed within the walls of these beautiful Allegan homes.

The downtown business district of Allegan falls among some of the best preserved small-town residential districts in America. Dozens of homes built in the 1800s and early 1900s remain much as they existed at their construction; homes with porches suitable for carriage ingress and egress are spectacularly preserved. Largely unchanged in layout for well over a century, the Allegan business district remains a unique presentation of shops, professional offices and yet another example of architectural community renewal.

The Old Regent Theatre

The downtown Regent Theater, its roots as a Buick garage (1903) and vaudeville theater (1919), serves as an example of Art Deco building styles that date to the World's Fair of 1925. As Allegan's privately run theater, the Regent suffered a series of failed operational attempts that left the theater largely abandoned by the mid-1980s. Having also suffered wear, damage and community apathy, the City of Allegan purchased the Regent for the remaining mortgage balance of roughly $18,000. The 1990 purchase led to the permanent re-establishment of the single screen theater to full operational status in 1996. A second round of restoration was required just a year later, in 1997, when a violent rainstorm caused the roof to collapse just an hour after the night's last movie ended. The building has been outfitted with a new electrical system in addition to many features designed to return the building to its 1930s prominence. Used for first-run films and community events, the Regent is yet another of many examples of Allegan's dedication to its cultural and architectural past. Recent investigation reports released by the West Michigan Ghost Hunters Society show that the Old Regent Theater is haunted Photo (external link) Asheville City Hall. ...

Allegan Community Players

Allegan's historic Griswold Auditorium is home to Michigan's oldest extant theatre company, the Allegan Community Players. The auditorium was built in 1929 through an $100,000 endowment left by the late Marilla Griswold and has remained virtually unchanged ever since its completion. Photo & Description (external link)

Medical Care

Allegan maintains, impressively for a city its size, a comprehesive 24-hour hospital system (Allegan General Hospital) and is served in community policing by both City of Allegan police and the Sheriff's Department of Allegan County, also headquartered within the Allegan City limits. The County of Allegan is comprised of 24 incorporated townships, most maintaining their own system of city schools, emergency services and local law enforcement.
