Return to Home Page or Tour Home A Tour of Richardson's Historic Heart The "Historic Heart" of Richardson, Texas is a small 6-block area that up until the 1950s, constituted the city's principal business district. It lies between Sherman Street on the west and Greenville Avenue on the east, with Main Street (a.k.a. Belt Line Road) running through its center, intersected by McKinney Street, Texas Street, and Interurban Street. Today, this district is a hodge-podge of architectural styles occupied by a variety of disparate business. Nonetheless, it is the historic heart of Richardson, and if you want to know more about the history of the city, then this is the place to start.
