The district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) on January 22, 1973, but the documentation does not adequately meet the current National Register standards. The purpose of this registration form is to clearly define the district boundary, evaluate all contributing and non-contributing resources within the boundary, and document the district’s historic and architectural significance. The Woodstock Village Historic District contains 550 buildings (462 contributing, 88 non-contributing), 11 structures (8 contributing, 3 non-contributing), 6 contributing sites, and 8 objects (6 contributing, 2 non-contributing) on approximately 408 acres of land.1 The development of Woodstock Village over 200 years, from its initial European settlement in the mid-eighteenth century through its growth as a year-round tourist destination in the mid-twentieth century, is clearly expressed on the landscape in the district’s collection of popular New England house forms and architectural styles. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description 1 The total resource count includes 366 contributing resources (355 buildings, 5 sites, and 6 structures) and 8 non- contributing resources (7 buildings and 1 structure) that were previously listed in the National Register as part of the 1973 Woodstock Village Historic District as indicated with an asterisk [*] on the attached district data sheet.
