If you plan on visiting Brighton, you can’t go without seeing the historic heart, also known as Brighton Center. 

Here is everything you need to know: 

The People and Places of Brighton Center

When you search for Brighton Center on Google Maps, for instance, you might find that nothing shows up! But that doesn’t mean that the Brighton Center Historic District is small or something to be looked over. In fact, it is expansive, just as Brighton is expansive, and even blends into Allston, which is why these neighborhoods are usually referred to as Allston-Brighton by the locals. Brighton Center is technically the commercial core of Brighton found at the intersection of Washington Street and Market Street. However, some may also say that most of Washington Street, lined with shops and restaurants, is the true “center.”

The estimated total population of Brighton is around 43,000. The population density is slightly higher than the citywide average, and the median age, as of 2010, was 32. Most of the population is between 25-34 years old, due to the number of educational institutions in the area and student housing. Interestingly, aside from apartments and student housing, Brighton (including Brighton Center) has several expensive and historical residences that were constructed before 1939. 

The Brighton Center Historic District was named as part of the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The district is bordered by Washington Street, Market Street, and Chestnut Hill Avenue. Any adjacent streets and alleys between them are also included. The oldest part is the Market Street Burial Ground, which was founded in 1764. 

The History of Brighton Center

The old Brighton Center Commercial District—now referred to as a Historic District—is one of the more significant areas shared between Allston and Brighton. The intersection of Washington and Market Streets was at the heart of the community’s religious practices during the 18th century. There, the first school was constructed in 1722, and the first meetinghouse in 1744. 

By the beginning of the 1830s, Brighton Center was the soul of the agricultural community. There was a town hall, a firehouse, a library, churches, and even a post office. Blacksmith shops, banks, general stores, and a tavern were also available to the population. Aside from businesses, a cluster of private homes was constructed along Washington Street. Once Cambridge Street and the River Street Bridge were constructed in 1810, and later, Brighton Avenue in 1824, Brighton Center was more connected to Boston and Cambridge than ever before. 

During the early 1900s, Brighton Center underwent renovations that transformed traditional wooden buildings with stone masonry work. The architectural projects brought a wave of immigrant entrepreneurs that wanted to settle somewhere new. From there, Brighton Center evolved as Boston and Cambridge did. 

The Brighton Allston Historical Society (BAHS) has a photo collection of Brighton Center that can be viewed on the BAHS website.
