Sanborn 1886 Map:
331 Temple St.
Status: Demolished, 1934
Built for: Eli Ives, 1814
This was originally a Federal Style five bay, gable front house, but by 1879, it had been altered with pedimented window hoods, a bracketed cornice, a massive bay window with Eastlake designs, a projecting front porch and projecting windows in the attic gable. Additionally, the rear had several elaborate porches and bay windows. After 1879, the house was further altered with the addition of a Queen Anne turret, and it can be seen in this state here.
339 Temple St.
Built for: Levi Ives, 1849
A no-nonsense Greek Revival stuccoed house of the type found throughout New Haven, of three bays and spare ornamentation. This was built by the same family as 331, though survived relatively unaltered with its plain windows and Ionic porch until its demolition. It can be seen here.
347 Temple St.
Built for: Henry R. Pynchon, before 1824
An elaborate five bay, gable front Federal house, built for a bank cashier. It is somewhat transitional since it has the Federal style cornice profile, with shallow brackets, balustrade, and a porch with scamozzi Ionic capitals (where the volutes extend to all four sides, with a truncated Federal entablature. I'd say this was potentially one of the most pretentious Federal houses following the traditional type in the city. It can be seen here.
353 Temple St.
Built for: John Beach, 1812-24
Another five bay Federal house, very much like its neighbor at 347. I suspect that they were once perfect twins in design. This house had the addition of a large porch, too heavy to be Queen Anne, probably in the 1870s. Otherwise, the Federal details remain as they are on 347. It can be seen here.
361 Temple St.
Built for: James Kingsley, 1824
Constructed for a Latin professor, this house was quite interesting. It follows the type of some Greek Revival houses with a side entrance, rather than a street facing entrance, as we can see on the same block at Church Street as well as further down Temple Street on the other side of the Green. This allowed a full street frontage for the principal rooms. The house was in the Federal style and brick with a Federal bracketed cornice, window lintel blocks with incised Greek key designs, and a particularly fine entrance porch with scamozzi Ionic columns. The side facing Grove Street had an oriole window with stained glass (probably an addition of the 1870s) and presented a massive brick facade toward the street. It can be seen here and here.
