The North Wayne Historic District is a national historic district that is located in Wayne, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

History and architectural features

[edit]

This district is located north of the South Wayne Historic District, and includes 190 contributing buildings that are located in a residential area of Wayne. The contributing dwellings were built between 1881 and 1925, and include notable examples of Shingle Style and Colonial Revival architecture.

This district also reflects suburban development in the late-nineteenth century, as it was a major component of a large, planned, railroad commuter suburb called "Wayne Estate."[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
