The East End Historic District is a residential historic district in Middleton, Wisconsin consisting of 37 modest homes built from the 1920s to 1950s in various styles. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[2]

In the 1870s the area occupied by today's East End Historic District was platted in large lots and thinly populated. In 1873 only nine buildings were there. The population grew slowly until 1935. Until then, Elmwood Street (then called Slaughter Street) didn't go through from Bristol to Park. In 1935, using money from relief aid, the village connected the street through that gap and replatted some large old lots, creating new small lots. Homes rapidly filled in the lots in the years following. [3]

Due to the late start of construction, there are no homes in older styles like

Gothic Revival or Queen Anne
. Instead there are a few in American styles like bungalows, and many period revival houses. Here is a good example of each style:
