The Upper North Street Commercial District is a historic district on the north side of downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts, United States. Representing an expansion of Pittsfield's historic downtown area northward from Park Square in the late 19th century, the district encompasses primarily commercial buildings fronting on North Street between Columbus and Madison Avenues on the west side, and between Eagle and Maplewood Avenues on the east side. The notable exceptions are the Berkshire Eagle building, located on Eagle Street next to Sottile Park, and the St. Joseph's Church complex.[2] The district features Colonial Revival and Renaissance style architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
