The Providence Street Historic District is a historic district in Worcester, Massachusetts. It includes a cohesive collection of triple decker houses built in the late 1920s in the Vernon Hill section of the city. The ten primary buildings in the 1.39-acre (0.56 ha) district are fine examples of Colonial Revival and Craftsman styling; there are also seven period garages. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.The development of triple deckers on Worcester's south side had reached the vicinity of the Worcester Academy grounds by the mid-1920s. A series of them were laid on along Providence Street (Massachusetts Route 122A), and built between 1926 and 1930 during the last phase of triple decker development. They were probably built by the Dworman Building Company, and many of them were first occupied by predominantly Jewish families moving to the area from homes closer to the city center. In 1930, four of the ten buildings were owned by Hyman Zive, a realtor with other property holdings in the city, and only two were occupied by their owners.The seven buildings at 127-139 Providence Street are nearly identical in their construction. These Colonial Revival structures have hipped roofs and full three-level porches topped by a gable with a diamond light window. The porches have square columns, and each level has a slightly different styling: the first level has an arched opening, the second a peaked one, and the third a bracketed square opening. Railings on the upper levels have narrow spindled balusters. Most of these seven buildings have wood clapboard siding on the first level and wood shingles on the upper levels; those at 131 and 133 Providence have clapboards on all levels, with bands of shingles between the floors. The three buildings at 141-145 Providence are all Craftsman in their styling.

The View Street Historic District is a residential historic district in Worcester, Massachusetts. It contains eleven triple decker houses, nine of which are particularly well preserved. They were built between 1916 and 1930, during the late phase of triple decker construction in the Vernon Hill area, and have Colonial Revival styling. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.View Street was laid out in the 1910s, as development of Worcester's east side pushed into the steeper terrain of Vernon Hill. The area was attractive to the working classes, for it had good views, and the streetcar that ran on Vernon Street provided ready access to the city center and factories. 8 View Street, among the first houses to be built c. 1916, has a gambrel roof and a two-level porch supported by slender Tuscan columns. The houses at 9 and 16 View Street have had synthetic siding applied, compromising their historic styling. Those at 10, 11, 14 and 15 View Street are relatively simple rectangular blocks with gable roofs and recessed two-level porches with a simple rectangular opening at the third level. 7 View Street differs from the others in being clad completely in shingles, where the others are generally clapboarded. The porch at 12 View Street is capped by a projecting gabled pediment, and its cornice features regularly spaced brackets. Early occupants of these buildings were typically skilled laborers or lower-class office and commercial workers.

The Euclid Avenue–Montrose Street Historic District encompasses a well-preserved cluster of Colonial Revival triple decker housing units occupying a dramatic hillside location on Euclid Avenue and Montrose Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It includes all triple deckers on those two streets between Vernon Street and Perry Avenue, and exclude other forms of housing in the area. Of the 40 triple deckers in the district, 27 have gambrel roofs, and most of these have an asymmetrical facade with porches on the first two levels, and a recessed porch area in the gambrel section of the facade. These porches are usually flanked on one side by a two-story projecting window bay. Detailing on the porches varies: some, such as 8 Euclid, have Tuscan columns, while others, such as 8 Montrose, have squat square columns; columns are also sometimes paired or clustered in groups. Houses with triangular gables more typically have three-story porches, often with arched openings instead of a simpler construction. The layout of the properties on the hill, combined with the somewhat cohesive styling of the buildings, makes the district visually distinctive from its surroundings when viewed from a number of perspectives. The district includes Deedy Park, a triangular grassy area where Euclid and Montrose meet.Most of the district was built out between 1910 and 1930. The area was attractive to laborers as well as white collar workers, given easy access by streetcar on Vernon Street to the city's work centers. Early residents were predominantly Irish, with Scandinavians arriving in larger numbers later.The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
