Pine Meadow Historic District

Pine Meadow Historic District extends over 68 acres along the West Branch of the Farmington River, featuring Federal, Greek Revival, and Queen Anne architectural styles.

The district's development began in 1806 when Roger Sheldon constructed a dam on the West Branch Farmington River to create a power canal for industrial operations.

The triangular green between Main Street and Church Street includes St. John's Episcopal Church and the Philip Chapin House, representing different architectural periods.

The district contains multiple structures from single-family houses to multi-story tenements, displaying various preservation states of 19th-century industrial village architecture.

Former industrial facilities, including a brass foundry and textile mill, operated using water power from control structures on Wickett Street's canal system.
