Dwight Street Historic District, Historic district in New Haven, Connecticut, US.

The Dwight Street Historic District covers 135 acres of residential and commercial buildings with Victorian architecture spanning 20 blocks near downtown New Haven.

The area transformed from farmland into an urban neighborhood after 1825 when the construction of Farmington Canal brought workers to establish carriage factories.

Among 629 buildings, 595 structures display architectural styles including Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival designs.

The district extends between Whalley Avenue, Park Street, North Frontage Road, and Sherman Avenue, with numerous preserved structures available for architectural study.

The Frederick P. Newton House, Malthusheck Piano Manufacturing Building, and birthplace of Robert Moses stand as notable landmarks within the district boundaries.
