Join The New Haven Preservation Trust for a community event to learn more about the Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church and urban renewal in the Dixwell area of New Haven, CT.

The open house will be held at Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church, designed by John Johansen. Exhibits will be on display to browse. At 5:00 pm 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.
Architect Edward E. Cherry will also be present at the event to talk to visitors. 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 Cherry.
