Lynn Common Historic District
Lynn Common Historic District, Historic district in Lynn, Massachusetts.
The Lynn Common Historic District extends along North and South Common Streets, featuring residential buildings, municipal structures, and green spaces in a park-like setting.
Established in 1637, the district underwent substantial development during the 19th century when the common area transformed from agricultural land into a formal public park.
The district includes numerous architectural styles from Federal to Queen Anne houses, with four Colonial Revival apartment buildings constructed between 1900 and 1920.
The district connects to Market Square on the western end and City Hall Square on the eastern boundary, making it central to Lynn's civic activities.
St. Stephen's Memorial Episcopal Church, the main library building, and the armory within the district maintain separate National Register of Historic Places listings.
