The Bow Street Historic District is a historic commercial district on Bow Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. The district encompasses a part of the west side of Union Square that saw significant development during the city's growth in the 19th century. The district includes, among other buildings, the former police station, built c. 1875 in a Gothic Victorian style, the 1887 Romanesque Revival Prospect Hill Congregational Church, and two buildings (the Drouet Block and the Richmond, both from 1898) designed by architect Aaron Gould that served as both commercial space and apartment-style hotels.[2]

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
