Orange Street Historic District

The Orange Street Historic District is historically significant as New Haven’s most cohesive surviving example of a large, middle income residential neighborhood. It was developed between the late 1830s and the early 1900s in response to the city’s emergence as southern New England’s foremost industrial and population center. The district is architecturally significant as a remarkably well preserved, contiguous assemblage of first generation dwellings whose styles and forms reflect a broad range of nineteenth century urban residential architecture.
