The Main Street Historic District of Manchester, Connecticut is a 50-acre (20 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] It encompasses most of the historic central business district of the town, running along Main Street between Eldridge and Center Streets, including the cluster of civic and municipal buildings at Center Park. The district was largely built up between 1890 and 1940, and includes a remarkable concentration of high-quality Colonial Revival construction. The U.S. Post Office which is separately listed on the National Register, is located in the district.[2]
