 After the fire of 1870, it took almost ten years to replace the buildings on the Square, thus explaining their common Victorian style.Even today, that architectural unity and historic flavor of the Town Square make Medina an appealing destination for residents, visitors and tourists.This very character is what makes the Square a recognized Historic District and spurs on the efforts of the dedicated members of the Community Design Committee and the Historic Preservation Board to preserve the city's historic look and feel.
