NHPT Preservation Awards 2022

CELEBRATING FAIR HAVEN, A VIBRANT STORY OF COMMUNITY RENEWAL Multiple generations from diverse origins have been drawn to the scenic setting of Fair Haven with successive chapters of building, renewal and rediscovery. Surrounded by water on three sides, the handcrafted buildings and engineered bridges have defined a special place for native Americans, oystermen and shipbuilders, merchants and manufacturers, educators and civic leaders. New Haven Preservation Trust celebrates this past by honoring three representative examples of preservation projects: a 19th century shipbuilder’s house on Perkins Street, two houses reinvented and joined as classroom space for the Cold Spring School, and a gateway to Fair Haven, the Grand Avenue Bridge. Originally presented in Quinnipiac River Park at the Grand Avenue Bridge on June 30, 2022. Learn more: nhpt.org/awards.
