Lower Roxbury Historic District
Lower Roxbury Historic District, Historic district in Lower Roxbury, Massachusetts, United States.
The district spans 3 acres between Columbus Avenue and Tremont Street, featuring residential and commercial buildings constructed during the 1890s development period.
Originally part of a separate community from Boston, Roxbury was annexed to the city in 1868, with this district emerging near the Boston and Providence Railroad tracks.
The district includes St. Cyprian's Church, constructed between 1915 and 1938, representing Gothic Revival architecture among predominantly Classical Revival structures.
Metal cornices and trim detailing characterize many buildings in the district, which stand between three and four stories tall along the main thoroughfares.
The area survived late 20th-century urban redevelopment, preserving a collection of architect-designed buildings from the 1890s within its boundaries.
