Wall Street Between College and High Street- North Side



Sanborn 1886 Map:


1879 Bird's Eye View:
Almost nothing is known about the houses in this area of Wall Street. Most were demolished for the Yale Centennial buildings.

99 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1900
Built for: ?, 1850s?
A five bay Italianate house in brick, it featured a bracketed support over the door with a sloped roof and a dentiled entablature. An image can be seen here.


103 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1900
Built for: ?, 1820s-30s?
A typical three bay Greek Revival house very common in New Haven on the surrounding streets, especially College Street.


107 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1880s
Built for: ?, 1800-20s?
This house was demolished in the 1880s for a group of vaguely Queen Anne rowhouses. It seems to have been a typical three bay, ridge front wooden Federal house.


113 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1900
Built for: ?, 1860s?
This was a rather impressive, though oddly isolated brick rowhouse with a strong Italianate flavor, with heavy hood moldings and entablature, arched windows, and a heavy curved pediment over the door. There was a full three story bay window to the side.


115 Wall
Status: Demolished, 1900

No photographic evidence survives for this livery building, listed as Donigan's Livery.
