Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church & the Redevelopment of the Dixwell Neighborhood

Fri Jun 23, 4:30 – 6 pm

Hosted by Dixwell Avenue Congregational United Church of Christ & New Haven Preservation Trust
Details The open house will be held at Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church, designed by John Johansen. Exhibits will be on display to browse. At 5pm, Charles Warner Jr., historian, educator, and community influencer, will discuss the church’s history and architecture and its connection to the 1960 Dixwell Redevelopment and Renewal Plan.

We are delighted that architect Edward E. Cherry will also be present at the event to talk to visitors. Mr. Cherry played a leading role in designing Modernist buildings that characterized the redevelopment of the neighborhood.

Handouts will be available for a local self-guided walking tour through which visitors can learn more about the surrounding Modernist Dixwell area buildings, including several by Mr. Cherry.

This event is co-sponsored by Dixwell Avenue Congregational United Church of Christ and the New Haven Preservation Trust.
