Colonial Revival architecture in Worcester
Colonial Revival reworks the symmetry, shutters and classical doorways of American colonial building. It was the most widely used house style in the country from the 1890s through the 1940s.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1914 to 1928. 10 stops, 2.3 miles end to end.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.
