36 Lewis Street

CRDA provided developer David Elwell, IRA, with a $300,000 construction/permanent loan to redevelop 36 Lewis Street. The project’s total estimated cost is $1,847,000.

The project entailed converting the former commercial property into four (4) one-bedroom and two (2) two-bedroom apartments in a ‘row house’ style reconstruction for a total of six rental units. The two-story, 6,742-square-foot building was originally a house, most likely built around 1840 by Austin Daniels. By the 1950s, it was the last building on Lewis Street to remain a private residence. It became an upscale restaurant in the 1980s, then an after-hours nightclub called “Vibe” in the 1990s, and remained vacant until construction began.

The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Hartford.
