The Wallace Historic District, which is roughly bounded by Oak, Silver, C, Mullan, Canyon, Fir, and 1st Sts. in Wallace in Shoshone County, Idaho, is a historic district. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The listing was modified twice later.[1] The Wallace Historic District was designated as part of a highway revolt to prevent Interstate 90 from being built and destroying the historic center of Wallace.[2]

The original listing was an 8 acres (3.2 ha) area roughly bounded by Pine, Bank, 5th and 7th Sts. It included 485 contributing buildings, many built during 1890–91. It included Classical Revival, Renaissance Revival, and Late Victorian and vernacular architecture.[3]
