Charles Street Workers' Housing Historic District

The Charles Street Workers' Housing Historic District in Waltham, Massachusetts, features four well-preserved vernacular worker houses built in 1865, showcasing the city's historical growth and the housing of its laborers. Located on a single block of Charles Street, these modest 2-1/2 story wood frame buildings reflect Greek Revival styling and were constructed during a period of westward expansion for Irish laborers. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, this district offers a glimpse into the living conditions of 19th-century workers and their communities.
