Exterior of the Noah Webster House at its Original Site on Temple Street in New Haven Connecticut, circa 1927

Summary

Noah and Rebecca Webster built their comfortable home in a fashionable middle-class neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut, during the early 1820s. They lived only a few blocks from New Haven's town green and very near Yale College. The house, shown here (far right) about 1927, was situated close to the street, as were most urban homes of the early 19th century.
