It is a {{convert|90|acre|adj=on}} historic district that includes a concentration of predominantly residential high-quality architecture from the late 19th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Description and historyThe historic district is centered on Union Park, an open green area marking the southernmost extent of Middletown's commercial business district. It includes properties set on three sides (north, south, and west) of the green, as well as properties on Crescent Street and a short stretch of South Main Street. Most of these are houses that were built in the latter third of the 19th century, although the area also includes two of the city's oldest surviving residences.[2] One property, the Caleb Fuller House at the corner of Main and Church streets, is also included in the Metro South Historic District[3] The most common architectural styles seen in the district are the Italianate and Second Empire styles, reflective of the city's growth between the 1860s and 1880s. Both of the district's two churches, the Methodist and South Congregational, are Gothic Revival in style, although the former was built in the 1920s and the latter in the 1860s. Crescent Street includes a number of fine Queen Anne Victorians. One of the older houses, the Mather-Johnson House, is a fine example of Federal period architecture, which has been owned and occupied by two of Middletown's mayors.[2] South Green Historic District inventoryBased on the NRHP nomination inventory except as explicitly noted:[2]
