Brighton Center Historic District
Brighton Center Historic District, Historic district in Brighton, Massachusetts
The Brighton Center Historic District spans 15 acres at the intersection of Washington Street, Market Street, and Chestnut Hill Avenue in Massachusetts.
Originally established as part of Cambridge, Brighton became a separate town in 1807 before Boston annexed the area in 1874 for expansion.
The district preserves numerous architectural examples from Greek Revival and Italianate styles, representing the development of urban Massachusetts communities.
The Market Street Burial Ground, established in 1764, remains the oldest landmark within the district boundaries and maintains regular visiting hours.
Following the removal of cattle yards in 1881, the district transformed from an agricultural center into a municipal service hub with commercial buildings.
