Canton Center Historic District
Canton Center Historic District, Historic district in Canton, Connecticut, United States
The Canton Center Historic District extends along Route 179 with 84 contributing buildings, including wooden residences, barns, and community structures.
The area began as part of Simsbury in the 18th century, received parish status in 1750, and achieved incorporation as Canton in 1806.
Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements characterize the district's structures, reflecting construction methods and design preferences from the early 19th century.
The district spans 500 acres of rural landscape between East Mountain and North Mountain Roads, with Cherry Brook running parallel to the main thoroughfare.
The Caleb Case House from 1785 stands as the earliest remaining structure in this district, which maintained its agricultural character until 1920.
