New Haven Congregational Church

166 Park Street is located in on the cusp of the Dwight Edgewood neighborhood in New Haven and is a three and a half story brick structure, rectangular in plan (approximately 30' by 50') with a shallow gable roof. The most striking part of the facade is the free-standing cast iron, centrally placed cog sculpture. The facade, made up of brick coursework and boss-carved brick tiles with crenellated patterning, is lively and attractive, making the building an"asset to the street." Dr. Henry Bronson built this residential house as an investment circa 1875. At one point, the Bronson's owned this entire block, as a 1916 Trust indicates, but it was divided amongst the family members sometime after the death of Henry Bronson in 1893. The house at 166- 168 Park Street was originally a single family house, but has been today been converted into multi-family residences.Pike Realty Company of New Haven owns and leases the building.
