Object description

The Norfolk Street Historic District is a historic district at Norfolk Street between Suffolk and Bishop Allen Streets in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It encompasses two distinct phases of 19th century residential development in the city: a period in the 1840s when a series of Greek Revival cottages was built , and the 1880s, when four-story "hotel" construction predominated . Many of the Greek Revival cottages have been altered, although that at 73 Norfolk is particularly well preserved.
