The Central Business District of Claremont, New Hampshire, is centered on Broad Street Park and the Claremont Opera House (aka city hall), and the area between the park and the Sugar River, whose power was responsible for Claremont's growth in the 19th century. The downtown business district grew organically until the 1880s, when an association of local business owners coordinated its further growth into the 20th century. The district includes commercial structures dating from the 1830s into the 20th century, from wood-frame Greek Revival structures to multi-story brick and masonry blocks. The two most prominent buildings are the Opera House and the Hotel Claremont, also known as the Hotel Moody or the Moody Hotel, an elaborate Queen Anne/Colonial Revival four-story block on Tremont Square.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
