Title A name given to the resource Congregation Beth El Description An account of the resource Founded in 1924 in hopes of a more “modern and more inclusive form of worship,” Congregation Beth El remains a vibrant presence in Jewish life in New London to this day. In 1925, the congregation purchased the Prest House at 60 Blackhall St, which had previously been the Jewish Community Center. However, as both the congregation and the overall Jewish community in New London shrank over the next century, Congregation Beth El found that the Prest House had become too big and difficult to maintain. In 2017, the building was purchased by an educational resource center called Learn. Currently, Congregation Beth EL does not have a permanent location.

Title A name given to the resource Starr Street Description An account of the resource Starr Street was first developed in 1804, when developer William Culver sold some of his land following a fire. A rope factory was built on one side of the street and five residential homes on the other. After the factory closed, an additional three residences were built in its place. As architects were hard to come by in early 1800s America, these houses were actually designed by local carpenters using plans from French and English architects. As New London came into hard times in the 1970s, Starr Street was scheduled for demolition. The Savings Bank of New London came to the rescue, buying and restoring most of the historic houses. The city contributed as well by connecting Starr Street to its modern utilities grid. Starr Street became New London's first Historic District in 1981. Today, the homes on Starr Street are privately owned, and the owners are required to preserve its historic character.
