==History==
In 1777, in the Old Constitution House, which is a part of the district, the constitution of the Vermont Republic was drafted. Initially, Windsor was a part-time capital of the Republic, and it remains the seat of Windsor County. This guaranteed an influx of population to the town. Many of newcomers were highly educated professionals. The location of Windsor on the banks of the Connecticut River provided an easy access to transportation routes, and this access was further reinforced by the construction of a railway in 1847.In the 19th century, Windsor was a prosperous industrial and administrative center. This resulted in intensive construction, with industrial-related buildings concentrated on the Main Street and Depot Avenue, including the railway station, and residential buildings located on State Street and in the northern end of Main Street. By the end of the 19th century, the major industrial enterprises in Windsor were producing water pumps, firearms, machine tools, and cotton.〔
