East Main Street Historic District
East Main Street Historic District, Commercial district in East Side, Bridgeport, United States.
The East Main Street Historic District extends from Interstate 95 to Crescent Place, containing masonry buildings with Victorian architectural features on their facades.
P.T. Barnum and William Noble initiated the development of this commercial area in the 1850s, transforming farmland into a secondary urban center.
This section of Bridgeport flourished as a commercial center, providing services to local workers who found downtown less accessible across the Pequonnock River.
The district maintains numerous two to four-story buildings that house retail spaces at street level, with many original architectural elements still visible.
The district contains a collection of late Victorian commercial structures that represent one of the most complete architectural ensembles in Connecticut.
