The Buchholz and Vogel Enlargement was a late-19th-century subdivision addition that helped extend the City of Henderson eastward during a period of steady growth. The addition was named for Frank Buchholz and John Vogel, two local landowners whose names were permanently tied to this section of the city through recorded plats and real estate transactions.
Formally recorded and certified in April 1895, the subdivision laid out residential lots along Franklin Avenue, First Street, and Second Street, with narrow north–south streets dividing the blocks. Its layout followed the typical pattern of the era, with uniform lots designed to blend seamlessly into Henderson’s existing street grid.
Located on what was then the eastern edge of the city, the Buchholz and Vogel Enlargement represented Henderson’s gradual outward expansion rather than a stand-alone development. Over time, the area was absorbed into the growing city and now sits within a fully developed neighborhood.
