Geography
The northern end of the historic district begins just above the intersection of Hadley Street and North Caswell Street. The boundary heads south, running behind the property lines of buildings along the east side of North Cameron Street. The boundary then heads east, behind buildings facing East Railroad Street and ends before North Carey Street. It then crosses the street and railroad tracks to include buildings on the south side of East Railroad Street. This continues until reaching the properties along South Cameron Street, where the boundary heads south. At East Boundary Street, the boundary crosses the road and heads south for around half a block.[2]
It then heads slightly west before turning north again, running behind the property lines of buildings on West Boundary Street, until just past the intersection with South Charles Street. The boundary turns north on South Charles Street and takes a turn west to include the buildings along West Railroad Street. The boundary goes west until crossing School Street. It crosses West Railroad Street and includes buildings that are on the north side of the railroad tracks. After heading east on West Railroad Street, the boundary stops behind the property lines of buildings on North Caswell Street and heads north, stopping on the other side of Hadley Street, where the boundary began.[2]
