The Wilton Center Historic District in the town center area of Wilton, Connecticut, was established as a town historic district in 1970[1] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[2]
Wilton's town center was formed in 1726 when the first meetinghouse was built. That meetinghouse was replaced with a new building in 1738, and finally in 1790 by a third church, the current Congregational Church at 70 Ridgefield Road. That church is the oldest church building in Fairfield County[3] and a central element of the historic district.
The historic district includes examples of Colonial Revival, Colonial, and Federal styles of architecture.[2] In addition to the Congregational Church, some of the specific buildings located in the historic district are:[1]
- Daniel Gregory House, 11 Belden Hill Road, built c. 1775
- Original Congregational Church Parsonage, 65 Ridgefield Road, built 1832
- Old Town Hall, 69 Ridgefield Road, built 1832
- Nathan Comstock House, 77 Ridgefield Road, built c. 1810
- Winton House, 80 Ridgefield Road, built 1926
- Halsey House, 98 Ridgefield Road, built 1934
- Deodate Davenport House, 108 Ridgefield Road, built 1791
The district includes the Wilton Academy. The shape of the district is very irregular.[4]
