79 Trumbull Street, New Haven, CT

79 Trumbull Street/100 Whitney Avenue, on the Northwest corner of Trumbull Street and Whitney Avenue is an imposing structure even today. A large entry arch with stone trim adorning the red-brick building announces this ~1890 structure as "Richardsonian Romanesque" in style, very popular at the time. It anchors the street corner with its presence, in a scale similar to Berzelius society across the street, as well as other residential buildings that surround it on its North and West faces. Its use has changed over the more than 100 years since it was built, but its structure has remained relatively unchanged.

In 2026, the property was purchased by Yale University with the intention of retaining its function as a mixed-used building that will remain, at least for now, on the tax rolls.
