Southampton Center Historic District

The Southampton Center Historic District encompasses the densely built center of the otherwise predominantly rural town of Southampton, Massachusetts. The district extends from Former Road in the south, along High Street and College Highway (Massachusetts Route 10) to Maple Street, and includes a line of houses along East Street from College to Elm. This area is the historic heart of the town, being first laid out in the 1730s. The district includes (in addition to a number of 18th- and 19th-century residences) several church buildings, the town hall, and the old public library. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
