Developers of a proposed 30-unit New Haven apartment building say they will need to demolish two vacant buildings on the northwest side of downtown to make their project happen.
The buildings are not in a historic district, but are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the New Haven Independent reported, with one being the former home of a Black abolitionist and the other once the site of a school that educated Connecticut’s first female college graduate.
The city’s Historic District Commission has, at the urging of neighbors, sent a letter to the state’s Historic Preservation Council opposing the demolition plans.
