Morris Cove Historic District

Morris Cove Historic District features residential architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Victorian, Colonial Revival, and Bungalow designs.

The district evolved from a mid-1800s settlement into a residential community, attracting affluent New Haven families seeking waterfront properties at the turn of the 20th century.

The neighborhood maintains architectural elements through community preservation efforts, including decorative trim, porches, and original window configurations from different construction periods.

Visitors can explore the district through self-guided walking tours, with many historical homes situated close together along pedestrian-friendly streets.

The waterfront location provides direct views of Long Island Sound, while the collection of period homes reflects different phases of New Haven's residential development.
