Conceived through coastal reclamation in the late 1950s, New Haven’s Long Wharf district is as much a mid-century creation as the corporate architecture which populates it. Covering the area’s history, planning and architecture, this tour, organized by New Haven Preservation Trust, will walk the length of Sargent Drive from Marcel Breuer’s Armstrong Rubber building to Herb Newman’s Gant Shirt factory. Stops along the way will include work by local architects Orr, deCossy, Winder and Associates, Granberry and Cash, Pedersen and Tilney, and Bruce Porter Arniell.
Free, registration coming soon.
