Bellingham Square Historic District

Located at a six-way intersection of Broadway, Washington Avenue, Bellingham Street, Hawthorn Street, and 5th Street, this district contains multiple civic buildings and commercial structures.

The district emerged from the reconstruction efforts after the Great Chelsea Fire of 1908, which destroyed approximately 3,000 buildings across 500 acres of the city.

Chelsea Public Library and Bunker Hill Community College campus occupy notable buildings within the district, providing educational resources to local residents.

The district contains multiple municipal services, retail establishments, and educational facilities within walking distance of public transportation options.

State authorities implemented new construction regulations and modern urban planning methods during the district's reconstruction, establishing advanced building standards for that period.
