__NOTOC__ The Whitney Avenue Historic District is a historic district in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut. It is a district which included 1,084 contributing buildings when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.〔 It is bordered by Edgerton Park and East Rock Park on the north. It abuts the Prospect Hill Historic District to the west and the Orange Street Historic District on the east. Yale University facilities border on the southwest and south.〔 The district is named after Whitney Avenue, the principal thoroughfare in the district, which is lined with mansions or other larger houses, while the smaller streets included in the district have mostly smaller homes. The district "is significant as a well-preserved middle and upper-class residential neighborhood which reflects the process of suburbanization in New Haven during the late 19th and early 20th centuries...and which has retained its integrity with few intrusions or alterations.... The houses in the district embody the distinctive characteristics of several periods and types of domestic architecture, including locally outstanding examples of Queen Anne, Shingle, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and other styles...."〔 and (''Accompanying 32 photos from 1988 (captions pages 60-62 of text document)'' )〕 The district includes 749 "major" buildings: mostly houses but also schools, small commercial buildings, and a firehouse. Including smaller outbuildings such as garages and carriage houses, there were a total of 1,113 buildings in 1989. Besides the 1,084 contributing buildings, the district then included 29 non-contributing buildings.〔 Since that time, some of the contributing buildings have been demolished, such as some garages behind houses, but the character of the district is generally preserved. ==Residential structures== Large mansions are primarily along Whitney Avenue and Livingston Street.〔 Significant Queen Anne style houses include the William Allen House, at 357 Whitney Avenue, a principal example among a row of Queen Anne houses.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Photo Gallery, Whitney Avenue Historic District )〕 Significant Shingle style houses include: *519 Whitney Avenue, at the corner of Canner Street (pictured above) *the Charles Atwater House (pictured at right, also as Photo #21 in accompanying NRHP nomination photos, and as photo #1 in New Haven Preservation Trust photos) at 321 Whitney Avenue, at the corner of Edwards Street, designed by Babb, Cook and Willard〔 *the Abner Hendee House at 703 Whitney Avenue〔 Significant Colonial Revival ones include: *C.
