New London's Civic Institutions Historic District: A Time Travel through 19th

The Civic Institutions Historic District is located in New London, Connecticut, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. This historic district features six contributing buildings, two of which are almshouses built in 1867 and 1917. The other buildings were historically associated with medical services and date back to the turn of the 20th century. The district encompasses 179 Colman Street, 32 Walden Avenue, and 156, 158, 171, and 173-5 Garfield Avenue.

The New London Almshouse, financed by Jonathan Newton Harris and constructed in 1867, embodies the Italianate style. About half a century later, it was expanded by a new main building, designed by James Sweeney in the Colonial Revival style, thanks to a bequest from Sebastian Duffy Lawrence.

Men's Memorial Hospital, located on the north side of Garfield Avenue, was built in 1892. The detached hospital building situated behind Men's Memorial Hospital was constructed in 1901, boasting the Queen Anne style.
