155 Elm Street
Status: Demolished, 1928
Built for: Eneas Monson, 1799
This five bay, ridge front house, built for a surgeon in 1799, follows the New Haven pattern of having a palladian window in the center bay under an open pediment, although the entablature over the window was more robust than other examples such as the one surviving example at 77 Elm. It also had the typical open pediment porch with Tuscan columns. The house can be seen here and here.

Built for: Elam Hull, 1830
A late Federal Style house, it was built around 1830 for Elam Hull with a typical, and rather broad, Federal Tuscan porch, a brick facade with brownstone lintels, and guttae under the cornice. The windows in the picture below were added in the late 19th century. The house was the Yale Publishing House until its demolition for Trumbull College.
