Dated

.
One
of a
collection
of
photographs
taken
by the
New
Haven
Redevelopment
Agency
to
document
a
massive
urban
planning
and
development
project
undertaken
from
1956
through
the
mid-1970s
. The
federally-financed
redevelopment
initiative
was
realized
through
a
series
of
projects
focused
on
particular
New
Haven
city
neighborhoods
identified
by
street
or
area
names
. These
projects
involved
the
demolition
of
old
structures
and
construction
of
new
buildings
,
roadways
and
other
facilities
. The
Fair
Haven
redevelopment
area
was
comprised
of a
residential
,
commercial
and
industrial
area
between
the
Mill
and
Quinnipiac
Rivers
at the
east
end
of
Haven
.
Fair
Haven
was not
always
a
part
of
New
Haven
, and
merged
most
recently
in
1870
.
It
was a
center
for
oystering
throughout
the
nineteenth
century
and into the
twentieth
.
Shipbuilding
and
other
industries
also
supported
the
economy
.
Redevelopment
efforts
in the
Fair
Haven
project
area
focused
on
run-down
housing
,
commercial
and
industrial
areas
.
Another
photograph
appears
to
depict
the
same
building
as
part
of a
project
on
Market
and
Monroe
Streets
.
