West Street Historic District
West Street Historic District, 19th-century historic district in Bar Harbor, United States.
The West Street Historic District contains numerous Victorian and Colonial Revival buildings along the streets of coastal Bar Harbor in Maine.
During the late 1800s, wealthy families from major cities constructed seasonal residences in the district, establishing Bar Harbor as a premier resort destination.
The architectural collection includes Queen Anne and Shingle Style homes that demonstrate the preferences and social standing of affluent summer residents.
Visitors can take self-guided walking tours through the district to observe the preserved mansions, detailed woodwork, and period-specific design elements.
The district maintains original structures from the Gilded Age, when Bar Harbor transformed from a fishing village into a destination for American elite families.
