In May of every year, Jane’s Walk festivals take place in hundreds of cities around the world. Jane’s Walks encourage people to share stories about their neighborhoods and discover unseen aspects of their communities.

This year, to ensure the safety of our community, we are offering a virtual Jane’s Walk of Lynwood Place.

Not far from downtown New Haven, located in the Dwight Street Historic District, is a one-block enclave of buildings dating to the 1880s. Lynwood Place was developed by professionals associated with local businesses and nearby Yale University and opened in 1880, on land formerly owned by the Osborne Carriage Factory on Park Street. Bookended by Edgewood Avenue and Elm Street, the street is relatively narrow, with shallow setbacks from the curb, giving it an intimate feel. Single-family houses which have been converted to multi-family dwellings remain remarkably intact. Plentiful trees contribute to the block’s impression as an urban oasis.

This is a virtual tour to view online from the safety of your home. WE WILL NOT BE MEETING IN PERSON FOR THIS TOUR.
