Village Centers - Jackson Square
(from the Town's Master Plan)

Jackson Square is the largest of the four village centers. It extends north and south along Pleasant and Water Streets and to the east and west along Broad, Commercial and High Streets.

Historic Properties
The key historic structure identified within Jackson Square in the Town's Open Space Plan is Washington School. "Built in 1887 at Burrell's Corner in Jackson Square, the architecture of the two-story structure reflects Queen Anne style that was popular at the time. Detailing on both the interior and exterior have been well preserved. The school is a rare survivor being a virtually intact woodframe example of a late 19th century educational facility. In 1984 the school was rehabilitated for use as office space."

Outside the boundaries of Jackson Square at the intersection of Broad and Middle Streets is one of the Town's historic districts. Two properties, the Tirrell House at 691 Broad Street, and the Canterbury-Libbey House at 707 Broad Street, have been recommended for the National Register of Historic Places. Although considered separate from Jackson Square, the connection along Broad Street provides some benefit to this entrance into Jackson Square.
