Windham Center Historic District
Windham Center Historic District, Historic district in Windham, Connecticut.
The 205-acre Windham Center Historic District contains 61 contributing buildings centered around a village green at the intersection of Routes 14 and 203.
The district served as the seat of Windham County when established in 1726, developing into an administrative and commercial center over three decades.
The former Windham Bank, constructed in 1832 in Greek Revival style, transformed into the Windham Free Library in 1896, preserving local heritage.
Four main roads extend from the central green: Scotland Road, Windham Center Road, Plains Road, and North Road, connecting the district to surrounding areas.
Revolutionary pioneers Eliphalet Dyer and Jedediah Elderkin resided in Windham, where legal scholar Zephaniah Swift wrote the first American legal treatise in 1795.
