The Canoe Brook Historic District was established in 2001. The District

District represents a neighborhood of 18th and 19th century houses, primarily
residential, with architectural styles ranging from Colonial to Queen

Historic Districts are recognized and approved by the Connecticut Historic
Commission, a Federal program managed at the state level.
