Brighton Center Historic District
The Brighton Center Historic District encompasses the civic center of the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The district is centered at the junction of Washington Street with Market Street and Chestnut Avenue, radiating along those roads and including a number of immediately adjacent properties on adjacent streets. The oldest resource in the district is the Market Street Burial Ground, which was established in 1764. Originally part of Watertown and Cambridge in colonial times, Brighton was incorporated as a separate town in 1807 and annexed to Boston in 1874. The center area became a focus of the regional cattle business during the 19th century, but little of that time has survived, with only a small handful of buildings pre-dating 1875. The local cattle yards were removed in
