The Stratford Center Historic District is a 220-acre (89 ha) historic district in Stratford, Connecticut. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It then included 257 contributing buildings.^[1]

It is significant for historical association, for architecture, and for information potential (the latter for possible archeological investigation of the Academy Hill Green area of a 17th-century fort.^[2]

Selected significant elements in the district include:

Capt. David Judson House, 967 Academy Hill, built 1723, which in 1978 was a museum run by the Stratford Historical Society
William A. Booth House, 956 Broad Street, built 1857, designed by architect Leopold Eidlitz in "Swiss Chalet" style^[2]^: 9
Lieut. William Thompson House, 904 East Broadway, a saltbox from 1762^[2]^: 11

The district also includes dozens of other historical houses including the Stratford Shakespeare American Theatre, a singular 1500 seat venue where currently popular American Hollywood actors have performed.
