Reminders of UConn’s earlier days are disappearing fast, due both to neglect and the university and state’s deliberate disregard of preservation promises. That needs to stop.

As a former student of UCONN, I am sorely disappointed that this or any other institution of learning fails to preserve its own important historic structures - what a lousy example for those of us (as well as current history students and future generations).

Please keep these buildings. The growth and new construction over the last 22 years since I have graduated has changed the University from a campus with architecture to a sterile city. Please slow your growth………

I walked past those historic houses for 4 years. They should have remained.

The University should be held accountable for the agreement negotiated at the time the demolition of 7 structures. The next to go will be the iconic 1911 agricultural barn!

Former CT resident and former owner of 64 Trumbull St New Haven CT 1982-2020 which is on the National Historic Preservation List. Buildings like these can serve as homes or offer the profession of dentistry to students and faculty. My building served dentistry from 1929-2020 following periods of medicine, Girl Scouts of America, medical school dean’s family residence all following the residence of Mary Hillhouse.
Please find a way to save your agricultural heritage for CT history.

Why aren’t you living up to the signed agreement? Can you be trusted in the future?

UConn should honor its promise to maintain and rehabilitate these buildings, not demolish them. As an ardent supporter of historic preservation, I am saddened by any unnecessary and willful destruction of historically important structures.
