The district is an early settlement of Rhode Island and in 1970 contains 126 buildings, of which 76 possess architectural and/or historical value. About 40 of these buildings are earlier than 1819 while the remainder belong to the early and middle 19th Century. The village has in the last sixty years lost many of its older buildings, but those still existing and included in the above count are close to their original appearance, well maintained and in general requiring only a moderate amount of restoration. All of the historic buildings in the district are of wood frame construction except the stone mill the, last remaining of several which once depended upon the Chepachet River running through the village and upon the mill pond and waterfall, which still do exist.
