Wall Street Between Church Street and Temple Street-North Side





Sanborn 1886 Map:


1879 Bird's Eye View:

The corner on Church Street was an empty lot until filled by a Queen Anne house, demolished for the Trinity Parish House. The house on Temple Street will be dealt with there. This block was mostly demolished for Timothy Dwight College, constructed in 1933. No information survives for either of the houses on Wall Street.

57 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1930
Built for: ?, probably 1800-1830

A typical Federal style, three bay, gable front house. Photographs do not survive of the exterior, but the Doolittle Map of 1824 provides an image of the house. A photograph of the Trinity Parish House shows the, probably Italianate, bracketed molding over the door. This was attached to the house next door by wings. The site is now the Timothy Dwight Master's house, a rather beautiful, high-style Federal design.


59 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1930
Built for: ?, probably 1820-1840s
A three bay, central entrance Greek Revival house, this was also demolished in the 1930s for Timothy Dwight College.

Block Survival Rate: 0/2: 0%
