The Front Street Historic District in Exeter, New Hampshire, encompasses a portion of the town's historic center. The district extends from Swasey Pavilion, at the junction of Front and Water streets, southwesterly along Front Street to Gale Park, about five blocks. Front Street is one of Exeter's oldest roads, and is lined with a series of 18th and 19th-century civic, religious, and residential structures, many of which are well preserved.[2]
NRHP designation
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1973.[1] It includes the Ladd-Gilman House, a National Historic Landmark which is now a museum, as well as the Dudley House, Moses-Kent House, and First Church, all of which are separately NRHP-listed.[2]
