Plainfield Street Historic District is a historic district in Plainfield, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1991.[1] The district encompasses the historic area of Plainfield Village, the town center of Plainfield. The district is linear, being located along Route 12 between Railroad Avenue and Route 14A. The district includes the First Congregational Church of Plainfield which is separately NRHP-listed. It is now mostly residential with some commercial development at its north end. It consists of 30 buildings and 24 associated outbuildings, most dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. The name of the district comes from the original street name of what is now known as Norwich Road.[2]
