Washburn Square–Leicester Common Historic District
The Washburn Square–Leicester Common Historic District encompasses the historic civic heart of Leicester, Massachusetts. It includes Washburn Square, as the town common is called; the buildings along its perimeter; and the properties along Main Street extending east along Main Street to its junction with Henshaw Street. It includes the 1939 Leicester Town Hall, Becker College's 1962 Swan Library, a Victorian Gothic Revival First Congregational Church and the 1834 Leicester Unitarian Church. The south side of Washburn Square is lined with stately homes that now are almost all owned by Becker College.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
