Historic Bellevue Avenue Residential District
Bellevue Avenue is a wide, grand, tree-lined residential street with mostly large, high-style historic homes on spacious lots. Homes were built from as early as 1850, when the town was settled as an agricultural community, to as late as the mid-20th Century.
In the late 19th Century, the small farmsteads gave way to many private residences. Today, a variety of interesting architectural styles - including early- and mid-Victorian style farmhouses, late Victorian, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Mission, Tudor Revival, 20th Century bungalows, and ranch-style homes - beautifully fill the Avenue from Route 30 into the Downtown.
