Seaside Village Historic District, Historic residential district in South End, Bridgeport, US.

Seaside Village Historic District is a densely built collection of brick rowhouses in irregular combinations, bounded by Iranistan Avenue, South Avenue, Forest Court and Alsace Street in Bridgeport's South End. It was designed by R. Clipston Sturgis with Skinner & Walker and town planner Arthur Shurtleff, and 257 of the 377 planned homes were built between late October 1918 and early March 1919.

Seaside Village was built by the federal government between late October 1918 and early March 1919, in about 90 days, to house munitions workers. The United States Housing Corporation funded it, and 257 of 377 planned brick rowhouses were completed after the war ended. In 1955, 90% of tenants agreed to form a cooperative, making the neighborhood owner-occupied.

The name Seaside Village was adopted shortly before completion, replacing the earlier Crane Lot or Crane Development, after the land bought from the Crane Company. In 1955, 90% of tenants agreed to form a cooperative, and the homes became owner-occupied. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its architecture, community planning and social history.

The district is bounded by Iranistan Avenue to the east, South Avenue to the north, Forest Court to the south and Alsace Street to the west. It sits within walking distance of Seaside Park and the former Crane Company plant, so the blocks can be covered on foot from the park side.

The site was part of the Crane Company property until the federal government bought the land, and it was called the Crane Lot or Crane Development until shortly before completion, when it was renamed Seaside Village. The land had once been marshland crossed by a creek, filled in with industrial waste by 1918.
