The Boynton and The Windsor historic apartment buildings in Worcester

The Boynton and The Windsor are a pair of historic buildings located at 718 and 720 Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. They are nearly identical brick apartment buildings that were constructed c. 1887 to designs by Barker & Nourse. These buildings are well preserved instances of late 19th century apartment house construction that once lined Main Street for many blocks.

The Boynton, located at 718 Main Street, is the better preserved of the two and features an unaltered exterior. Both buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which they were added to in 1980. They were further included in the Main Street and Murray Avenue Historic District in 2022.

These structures represent a specific era of architecture in Worcester. They stand as well preserved examples of the apartment houses that once defined the character of the Main Street area during the late 19th century.
