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.

Title A name given to the resource Riverside Park Description An account of the resource In its current state, Riverside Park reaches 18 acres from the banks of the Thames River upward towards the neighborhoods behind Hodges Square. The park’s dwindling attendance record and successive attempts to sell off the land to the neighboring Coast Guard Academy reveal deeper problems with New London’s historical development. In Riverside park’s heyday it was a celebration of New London’s affluence, featuring the Yale-Harvard Regatta and recreational all year round beginning in 1893. However following the segregation of the greater Hodges Square area by the construction of I-95, isolation caused neglect. New London citizens rescued the park in 2011, creating the Riverside Park Conservancy to ensure its survival.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Connecticut College Description An account of the resource Although Connecticut College's current relationship with the city of New London remains tenuous, the historical legacy of these two places are undeniably intertwined. Upon Wesleyan’s decision to stop admitting women in 1909, the people of Connecticut took it upon themselves to provide a higher education pathway for women. Three New London families; the Alexanders, the Branch family, and the Egglestons donated large plots to house the campus. The first structure, New London Hall, was made possible by the donations of countless New London citizens who, to encourage the College’s rapid development, each gave one day’s wage to fund the project. Built for $135,000 using both regional materials and local labor, New London Hall was named for the local residents who had campaigned so actively to first provide a beautiful site for the future campus, and then the means with which to make that campus a reality. This dynamic relationship flourished until the 1970s when large numbers of students were no longer housed in downtown neighborhoods, and eventually students were entirely dissuaded from off campus residence in 2015.

Individual buildings and masterplans express the architectural values held by society of the time. President Blunt oversaw the construction of seven dormitories and Palmer Auditorium, which expanded the college remarkably. The construction of Palmer connected the campus to the greater New London community. The theater continues to offer concerts and lectures by distinguished individuals including Billy Joel, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Clinton, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Toni Morrison.

Title A name given to the resource The Lyman Allyn Art Museum, est. 1926 Description An account of the resource The Museum was established in 1926 as a gift of New London resident Harriet Allyn in honor of her father and opened its doors in 1932. Allyn’s father, Captain Lyman Allyn, began his career in whaling and eventually branched out into the banking, insurance, and railroad industries. Harriet Allyn bequeathed funds for the Museum in her will, which also donated land to the Connecticut College for Women, and the Museum still has a close relationship with the College today. Architect Charles A. Platt was hired “to design an elegant neo-classical granite structure on a hill overlooking New London and the Thames River." At the time of opening, the Museum held thirteen works but it now is home to 17,000 pieces of American art. The Lyman Allyn prides itself on providing art education to local school children as budgets for art education programs are cut.

It was the last station that famed architect Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886) designed before his death. Because Union Station is located on the Northeast corridor it serves both local lines and larger train lines such as Amtrak, and as a connection to the ferries to Long Island and Fishers Island, and Block Island. It is one of the oldest and most characteristic buildings that remains from the new London of the 19th century. Over the years its ownership has changed hands and additions such as the footbridge, have been built and removed. In the 1970s the station underwent a significant restoration, but remains visibly very similar to its original standing.  Still Image A static visual representation.

In 1864, the bank was recognized nationally and became the National Whaling Bank. Following the decline of the whaling industry in New London, the bank closed and the building was sold and became the Thames Crockery, a restaurant supply business. Shortly after, a cafe called Mugz took over the building. After changing hands once again, Muddy Waters, another cafe, took over the structure and still operates there today. The site references two eras of New London’s history and present: the presence and influence of the whaling industry and the modern site of community gathering and commerce.
