Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Charles Culver House at 62 Washington Street at the corner of Tilley Street, across from the intersection with Huntington Street in New London, Connecticut, was built in 1832 in the Greek Revival style by John Bishop. Culver was the owner of a 500-foot ropewalk where Starr Street is now. The ropewak was, a long, low, shed-like building in which rope was woven from strands of hemp, primarily for use on ships. It burned down c.1834, clearing the way for Culver to sell the land in 1835 to a group of investors led by Bishop and Jonathan Starr, Jr., of the C. Starr and Company Soap and Candle Factory nearby, to lay out Starr Street, which is today a historic district. (Description source: [1])
