The Highland Historic District is a U.S. historic district in Middletown, Connecticut. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
The district is an irregular shape that includes, or fronts onto, portions of Atkins Street, Country Club Road, Sawmill Road, and Bell Road.[2]:16 It includes 15 houses, of which 9 are contributing buildings, and it includes a barn that is also a contributing structure. Four of the houses date from the mid- to late 18th century and were the homes of some of the earliest settlers in this part of Middletown.[2]
The Highland neighborhood "still retains much of the atmosphere of a rural settlement, thereby preserving a chapter in the history of the town's development".[2]:9
