Redding Center Historic District
The district includes 46 buildings with a mix of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, and Italianate. They form the most historically significant collection of properties in the community.
Fronting a central green is the First Church of Christ, a Congregational church built in 1837 in the Greek Revival style that was the first religious organization established in Redding, obtaining permission in 1729 from Fairfield church leaders to establish a separate parish. Also facing the green is Redding's old town hall, built in 1834 and still used today for some town functions like meetings. Redding's current town hall, police station, fire station, and the Read Cemetery, which has grave markers dating from 1786 to 1860, are also in the district.
