The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 24, 1983.[1] The district has an inverted U-shape (formed by Thames, Broad, and Monument streets) and its boundaries are based on an 1868 map, to include an area developed mostly during 1820-1860, reflecting a period of growth when Groton was a significant whaling and shipbuilding center. Although Groton was settled by English colonists in the mid-17th century, it has few colonial-era structures, since many were destroyed during the Battle of Groton Heights in the American Revolutionary War. A number of post-independence 18th-century houses survive, including the Major Noyes Barber house, built in 1810, which is a Federal style structure.[3] The district encompasses a well-preserved neighborhood that grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, originally as a shipbuilding center, and contains a representative cross-section of architectural styles from its periods of growth. A fine example of Italianate architecture is the Groton Heights Baptist Church, built in 1878. From later in the 19th century, a good example of Queen Anne architecture is the Thomas Miner House on Monument Street, built about 1894. Non-residential buildings in the district include a number of late 19th-century commercial blocks on Thames Street, and the Bill Memorial Library, a high-style example of Richardsonian Romanesque design by Stephen C. Earle.[2] See also
