The Amherst Central Business District is a historic district encompassing the heart of downtown Amherst, Massachusetts. When first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, it consisted of a group of mostly brick commercial buildings, built between 1836 and 1930, centered on the junction of South Pleasant, North Pleasant, Amity, and Main Streets, and Boltwood Avenue. The notable non-commercial buildings in the district include the Strong House (separately listed in 1984), the Grace Episcopal Church, the First Baptist Church, and Amherst Town Hall. The district includes a portion of the town common, including a fountain.[2] The district was enlarged in 2011 to include the Lord Jeffery Inn at 30 Boltwood Avenue.[3]
