The Main Street Historic District in Haverhill, Massachusetts represents the civic core of Haverhill and a gateway to the city's Highlands neighborhood and lakes district. Overlooking a mid-20th century urban renewal clearance area, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The district includes properties along Main Street between White Street and Arlington Street to the north, and Crescent Place and Summer Street to the south. Its principal features include the Renaissance-revival style Haverhill High School building, now Haverhill City Hall (C.Willis Damon, 1909); the 18th and 19th century town common (now known as G.A.R. Park) with its bronze statue of the colonial heroine Hannah Duston (Calvin Weeks, 1879); and three Romanesque Revival style churches including, the Italianate First Parish Meetinghouse, now Armenian Church (Alpheus C. Morse, 1848); the Germanic First Congregational Church (John Stevens, 1859); and the Richardsonian romanesque style First Baptist Church (Edgar Allen Poe Newcomb, 1883); as well as several residential properties.[2]
