The Diamond Historic District is a 2 acres (0.81 ha) area in downtown East Liverpool, Ohio. It is located at Market and East Sixth Streets.[1] The area is triangular and is bounded by three roads. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in November 1985.[1]

"The Diamond" (pictured), erected by George Gaston in 1884, was the first four-story brick building in East Liverpool and is located in this district.[2] Restoration of the J.C. Thompson Building at the heart of the district began in 2024 as part of a $1.2 million incentive received from the state government.[3]
