The Roger Sherman House

A New Haven history blog investigating the plot of land at approximately 1032 Chapel Street, New Haven, Connecticut. Planted by Puritans in 1638, it has been home to Roger Sherman, an opera house, and the city's Union League Club ⁠— from this ground are still growing the roots of the United States of America.

Ralph Earle: Roger Sherman (1721-93) 64 5/8 x 49 3/4, painted in 1774-5. "The face of the man who helped draft the Constitution, who steered the delicate 'Connecticut Compromise,' as definitely leads us on into the next century of American history as Ann Pollard's and Cotton Mather's pull us back into the seventeenth."

Two posts from 1775 with stories about New Haven's role in the opening days of the Revolutionary War: "The First Engraving, 1775," and, "The New Haven Cadets, 1775," — RogerShermanHouse.com.

According to Price & Leeʹs New Haven Directory (New Haven County, Conn.) 1914, courtesy of HathiTrust, Kirk's Garage — located on Crown Street, at where is now the @theshopsatyale parking lot, next to Louie's Lunch — was, in 1914, the largest and best equipped electric service station in the state of Connecticut.
