22 Lynwood Place

Rich, sophisticated Queen Anne finishes define this 2ó story multi family home. Painted clapboard and scalloped details frame a projecting bay atop a brick base. Elegant cornice molding and subtle bosses in relief give a graceful air to this home. Built between 1888 and 1897 on the then-fashionable, sleepy Lynwood Place to comply with newly-issued city fire codes, the residence originally housed professionals

working at local businesses or industries; Yale students lived here as early as 1908.

Most recently, 22 Lynwood Place has been home to members of the Yale Sailing team. 22 Lynwood also serves as a model of some of New Haven’s news and legal drama; formerly owned by Wendell C. Harp’s Renaissance Management Company, the title of the property was ‘sold’ for $0 to a new limited liability company, with Wendell Harp’s son Matthew as principal, in 2011, the year of the elder Mr. Harp’s death – a year in which Renaissance owed over $1 million in unpaid taxes. Since then, Mr. Harp’s wife, formerly a state senator, has become mayor of New Haven, and much of Renaissance’s tax debt has disappeared.
