The Low<-r Village survey area west of the historic district was initially created by industrial development arid accompanying land speculation in the ISJO's. Three east-west streets were laid out. Main Street linked the downtown area on the plains with the lower bridge (formerly approached via Sullivan and Union Streets). Around the bridge numerous industrial and com mercial sites were developed over the next three decades, while both private and industrial housing lined Main Street to the east and west. River Street parallels the Sugar River north of the bridge to Pearl Street and originally served the Claremont Manufacturing Company fac tories and housing. On a rid<jo overlooking the developing Lower Village were built private

Although architectural and historic.il research have been completed within the survey area, no arc.heoloqic al investigation has been accomplishes!. The City of Claremo-it pi3rs, however, to explore its art henlogknl site potential through the Archeological Resource Center at the University of Now I Kimpshire.

1 he Multiple Resource,; Survey of downtown and Lower Village was dire( ted by Dr. Richard M. Oindee, a cultural and architectural. historian and adjunct Assistant Professor of the Historic Preservation Program in the Arnerk an and New England Studies Program, BnbU;r, university, Mr. Stephen J. Roper, architectural historian, Ph.D. candidate in Fino Arts at Boston Uni- v*;rsity, with wide suryoy experience with the Rhode Island Historic Preservation Commission prepared the accompanying maps from the field investigation conducted with Miss Nancy Stack, a city planner with the Northampton, Mass. Planning Department. Miss Stack is a graduate of Harvard University in city planning and an experienced cultural resources surveyor. This team delineated the bounds of the survey area, excluding several nearby residential neighborhoods to be locally surveyed, to conform to the City Center Re vitali;*ation ubjootives for the municipal, commercial and Lower Village arras. Major t< >po<ir\)phie features and the physical survival of evidence of first phase of industrial i/ation were used to determine- (he exact boundaries for the Lower Village survey area. Existing National Register nomination boundaries for the Monadnock Mills, and the concentration of commercial and munic ipal properties determined the bounds of the Downtown Historic District. •

Survey criteria: All existing buildings and structures were surveyed within the area and mapped on two sheets: the proposed downtou-n.hisi.x ic, district and the Lo^er Village area. Inventory sheet numbers refer directly to one (.if the-.*, nt.ip^'. Hach property was evaluated and keyed to four catenaries of significance based on-.their, integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and.asr,o< iation with the social, economic a^d cultural pattern of the city's historical development. "Outstanding" buildings or sites embody high architectural values, are often the product of architects or locally'important master builders, occupy prominent position, and retain a high proportion of exterior physical integrity. Only the buildings or complexes in this category wilhin the Lower Village survey area have-booh in< luded in this nomination. "Moderate" represents properties of lesser architectural value or structures where a significant

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The historic resources of the Claremont downtown and Lower Village survey area represent a bi'inifkant sequence of industrial t commercial, institutional and residential development from 1<JJO to 1 9JU . Two important periods of development -the first beginnino with the formation of the Clarefnnnt Manufacturing company in 183^, and the. second beginning, in the !880's witn industrial and commercial revitali/iitiun, - both were the product of conscious entrepreneurial real estate development by qroups of locally prominent citi/ens. ..

Although the layout of the municipal center of Clare'nont at "The Plain" around the town common, •or- Mro.id Strer-t f'ark, derives from the local ion of a meet inn, house t school, and cemetery there !>.'tween ]'/!>! and 17 1J7, tlie transforrTt,i t ion '.of Cl.irernont frf)rn a typical New England villane center t(j ,IM ihdijstr-i.il <:ity ben.in with the rxjymde.J u••...<> of w.itfr power of the Suonr River, a fall of 130- feet supplied hy L,ike Sun.ipee, with sites for up to nine clams. In 1832 the -Claremont Manufactur- irK) C;o;np.iny wos chartered with a rapila.fi/ntron of $1.00,000 with which its loâl investors pur- cli.i-.<'d 15 acres of land erico.rnpaiisfnfj--most.0f tfie Lower ViMaqe survey area from Suh'ivan Street to the Su-j.ir Kiver, ns well ,is "four of the most valuable water falls in the viMa'jo."

While the Claremont Company branched out injp printing, under the direction of its agent Simeon Ide, financial reverses during the depression qf 183? led the firm to sell off certain of its water povver sites to several new industries which erected specialized mills or factories along the river over the next three decades.

While commercial activity in the town surrounded T rernonf Square with livery stables and a number of individual business blocks by the Civil War, the rebuilding of this commercial area was, in part, the c-onsequefK e of l r- h«-d in Iu08 as the ("l.iremont Gusiness Associa tion.

While many of its officers and members erected their own business blocks around the Su.uarr along Pleasant Street, the Association was directly responsible for the erection in I#90-91 of the. Hotel Claremont which terminates the vistas of the main avenues as the northern • wdll of the Square, In 1395 the Claremont City Ha11 and Opera Houiie replaced the earlier town meeting house, followed in the early twentieth century with the ro.I6c<i!ed Fiske Free Library and the city Fire Station along 13road Street. These public improvements were paralleled along

Streot^, Thp |hjrd _ community planning effort was the final clovcloprnent of Pleasant Strcelj vind TroiTiont Square (D-5,6). The loss of an earlier hostelry located in the center of what became Tremont Square provided the opportunity after 1079 to re develop the area into a wide central pUzn and provide, through the activities of the Claremont liusim::,s A-.-.oc i.il ion , a ^Mjnifit ant t oinmerV lalhutf,.1 } (Dr^p) filong it:i northern edcje as a focal point opposite IM^.-isani Street, Thp t-u(mjn,ition of late 19th century design enclosing the Square was the 1 89b City H. ill and Opera, Hoifse (0-2,) which provided an important axial connec tion botwe.cn the commercial center nnd the tiviic cpre of the tpwn.

A unique contribution to the industrial re'-our res of Clarrrnont is Simeon Idc's printing shop, a round brick structure of two stories (I ViHlQe) htjilt in lUVf. Now p.u t of a larger industrial com* plex, its adjoiniruj buildings were built by tho fifrti of;J rf>em,'jn £/ O'Neill, manufacturers of stairs and architectural woodwork.
