Black Rock Historic District
Black Rock Historic District, Historic district in Bridgeport, US.
The Black Rock Historic District extends over 30 acres along Black Rock Harbor, featuring 109 buildings from Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival, and Queen Anne styles.
Originally established in 1644, Black Rock developed into Connecticut's third largest port by the 1760s after a bridge over Ash Creek connected it to Fairfield Center.
The district includes the Thomas Wheeler Sr. House at 266 Brewster Street, which stands as the fourth oldest residence in Connecticut, built between 1644 and 1680.
The district boundaries encompass the area between Black Rock Harbor, Grovers Avenue, Beacon Street, and Prescott Streets at an elevation of 15 meters.
The Gould Brothers House, built in 1868, represents French Second Empire architecture and was constructed as a double residence for two building contractor siblings.
