Title A name given to the resource Whale Oil Row, est. 1835 Description An account of the resource In the nineteenth century, New London was a thriving and bustling center of the whaling industry. Whale Oil Row is a part of Huntington Street made up of four two-story Greek Revival style residential buildings, all constructed between 1835 and 1845. Ezra Chappell, a local developer and whaling merchant, commissioned architect Charles Henry Boebe to build them. Chappell then sold the homes to four New London citizens, three of whom were directly involved in the whaling industry. The fourth was a doctor who eventually moved his practice to his house on Whale Oil Row, setting a precedent for commercial use of the buildings. Today, these historic structures serve as a reminder of New London’s prominent role in the whaling industry.
