58-60 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1940s
Built for: David Daggett, 1824
Known as the "Stone House", this double Federal house was widely admired in its day. Constructed of trap rock, a rarity in 19th century New Haven, the house featured a fine Federal cornice with small brackets, a four-columned porch with French Ionic capitals and a balustrade, and graceful curving stairs descending from the porch. The side also featured unusually large semi-circular windows in the gables. The Daggetts remained in the house until the 20th century. This unique Federal building was demolished in the 1950s for parking, a use the lot is currently put to. An image of the house can be seen here.
