The district is chiefly residential, but also includes the stucco covered old schoolhouse (1859), Charlton Village Shop (ca. 1829), fire hall, historical society headquarters, garage, church, and The Charlton House tavern (ca. 1791). Almost all the buildings are sided with wood painted white or with a modern shingle replacement. The buildings range from one to two stories. Six are believed to have been built prior to 1800, fifteen from 1800 to 1830, thirteen from 1830 to 1880, and fifteen after 1880. The largest and most prominent building in the district is the Greek Revival style Freehold Presbyterian Church, dated to 1852.[2]
