The Nahant Civic Historic District consists of three civic buildings in the center of Nahant, Massachusetts. The town hall is an H-shaped Colonial Revival structure built in 1912 to a design by the Boston firm of Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul. The library, which stands across the street, was built in 1895 in a Jacobethan (English) Revival style, its exterior made of ashlar granite with sandstone trim. Next to the town hall stands a small commercial block, a two-story Colonial Revival building built around the turn of the 20th century, whose tenants include the local post office.[2]
