The Downtown North Historic District is a 19-acre (7.7 ha) historic district in Hartford, Connecticut. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.^[1] It is a predominantly residential area located around Main Street and High Street north of I-84 and south of the Amtrak railroad tracks.^{[citation needed]} There are 28 contributing buildings in the district that represent "Mid-19th Century Revival" and "Late Victorian" styles of architecture in the district.^[1] The 28 contributing buildings in the district are brick and brownstone buildings built in the late 19th century and early 20th century, including houses, apartments, a school, a church, a warehouse, shops, and a hotel. The Italianate Isham Terry House and the Queen Anne-style Arthur G. Pomeroy House, both of which are listed separately on the National Register, are included in the district. The 130-ft Keney Tower, a landmark said to be Hartford's only freestanding tower, is an unusual element in the district. It was built in 1898 to a design by Charles C. Haight of New York City. Most structures in the district were designed by local architects.^[2]^[3]

William G. Allen is one architect who contributed to the design of one or more structures in the district.^[1]
