There is almost no information about any of the houses on this block. The entire block was demolished in 1901 for the current college buildings occupying the site. The empty lot on the corner of College Street was just being prepared for the construction of St. Anthony's Hall, which in turn was demolished for the current building on the site.

Status: Demolished

Though this block has little information, this house was occupied in the later 19th century by Arthur Tappan. One of the transitional Greek Revival/Italianate houses in New Haven, akin to the houses down Wall Street between Temple and Church, it was stuccoed, three bays, with a Corinthian porch, a small projection for the architrave molding, and dentils. An interesting feature uncommon in houses of this type is the higher peak of the hip roof with a Second Empire style dormer window, which must have been added in the 1870s. The house can be seen in the postcard below.
