Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: 94 Bank Street, located between Golden and Pearl Streets in New London, Connecticut, was built in 1860 ("Historic Buildings of Connecticut") or 1876 (sidewalk historic plaque), depending on the source consulted, and may have been built in the Romanesque Revival style. It is said to have been connected to the building next door at 90 Bank Street. It appears to have been constructed of fieldstone. "Historic Buildings of Connecticut" writes of the two buildings at 90-94 Bank Street that "The commercial building was used by A.B. Currier, an auctioneer, around 1873 and was later home to Darrow & Comstock, ship chandlers. The New London Day newspaper began publishing on the building’s second floor in 1881." New London by John J. Ruddy reports that it is this building that is being referred to. In 1919, the Hotel Bristol at 92 Bank Street was the site of a race riot between Black and white Navy sailors, part of what was called the "Red Summer" by the head of the NAACP. Whether the hotel occupied the building now addressed as 90 Bank Street next door, or this building, or both, is unclear, as the historic plaque is positioned at the place where the two buildings join. "Roberts" on this building is left over from when it was the site of Roberts Audio Video store, during which time the upstairs was a residence. The building is part of the Downtown New London Historic District. (Description sources: "Historic Buildings of Connecticut", New London by John J. Ruddy (Arcadia, 1998), and Historic plaques on site) |
