Wall Street Between State Street and Orange Street-South Side



Sanborn 1886 Map:


1879 Bird's Eye View:
This block had few buildings with an address on it. The Orange Street corner had the Bowditch house, while the State Street corner had a small triangular building (which survives). The New Haven Folding Chair Company had one façade facing this street. There was also a small workshop, about which I could find no information.

8-10 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, ?
Built for: ?, ?
No photographic evidence survives for these two row houses. Clearly they did not have mansard roofs and were likely three bays. Potentially, they were Greek Revival or Italianate. The Sanborn map seems to indicate a wooden porch stretching across both facades. Without any further evidence, though, I would not venture a reconstruction. 

Block Survival Rate: 2/5: 40%
