Broad Street – Davis Park Historic District is a historic district in the borough of Danielson, in the town of Killingly, Connecticut. The district includes Davis Park, a triangular park created in 1890 and bounded by Main, Reynolds, and Broad Streets. The district as a whole is in size. It includes examples of Stick/Eastlake, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival architectural styles and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It includes 95 contributing buildings, one contributing site, and four contributing objects.〔 The district is significant for its architecture, which includes many examples of Victorian architecture with rich detailing. The buildings in the district also reflect the institutions and people responsible with the development of Danielson. The town's growth began in 1809, when brothers James and Hezekiah Danielson built a cotton spinning mill, and was further fueled by other textile mills, the completion of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad through town in 1830, the establishment of other businesses, and the expansion of the textile mills from the 1850s onward. The houses in the Broad Street-Davis Park area were built by middle and upper-class residents, who chose the latest architectural styles and built large houses. The area also was above the river terrace, providing fine views and flood protection.〔 and (''Accompanying 21 photos, from 1997 and 1998 (captions on pages 25-26 of text document)'' )〕 It includes the Old Killingly High School building, which is separately listed on the NRHP.〔 ==See also== *National Register of Historic Places listings in Windham County, Connecticut 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Broad Street – Davis Park Historic District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
