The Boston Post Road Historic District in Darien, Connecticut is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] At that time, it included 26 structures, of which 23 were contributing buildings. The district is defined by the First Congregational Church (Greek Revival style) and the old town hall building (Neo-classical revival style), which was originally built as a school, and connected by the modern Boston Post Road (U.S. Route 1) when it was originally laid out in 1806. It also includes a row of 12 nineteenth-century houses and additional properties on Brookside Road and on Old Kings Highway (the original alignment of the Post Road) including the Bates-Scofield House built in 1736 and used as an office by the Darien Historical Society.[2]
