Due to the lack of information about this Historic District on the internet, I have made some logical assumptions that the Becket Arts Center, Becket Athenaeum, and Becket Federated Church are contributing buildings to this historic district based on their location within the very small boundaries of the historic district and the above information on the NRHP link for the historic district that indicates: (1) Library, Education, and Religious Structure were historic/current functions or sub-functions, (2) Greek Revival was an architectural style, and (3) these structures were constructed within the Period of Significance. Photos of these three structures are included within the photo gallery.
