Bridgeport Downtown North Historic District


The Bridgeport Downtown North Historic District is a historic district in Bridgeport, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It encompasses an area roughly bounded on the north by Congress Street, the east by Water and Middle Streets, the south by Fairfield Avenue, and the west by Lyon Terrace. It is one of two large clusters of historically significant commercial and civic buildings encapsulating the city's growth as an urban industrial and regional government center. It includes the Fairfield County Courthouse and Hotel Beach, which were already separately NRHP-listed. It also includes the Richardsonian Romanesque-style Bridgeport Boys Club building.
