The Bridgeport Downtown North Historic District is a 20-acre (8.1 ha) historic district in Bridgeport, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987. It encompasses an area roughly bounded on the north by Congress Street, the east by Water and Middle Streets, the south by Fairfield Street, and the west by Lyon Terrace (although it does not include any properties on the latter street). It is one of two large clusters of historically significant commercial and civic buildings (the other is the Bridgeport Downtown South Historic District) encapsulating the city's growth as an urban industrial and regional government center. It includes the Fairfield County Courthouse and Hotel Beach, which were already separately NRHP-listed. It also includes the Richardsonian Romanesque-style Bridgeport Boys Club building.[2]
