The c.1970 non-historic facade concealed two historic properties, located at 770-774 Chapel Street and 776-780 Chapel Street, both of which are now considered as contributing to the district's documented commercial architectural development from 1820 to c.1940. The 1920s buildings represent the Chicago Commercial Style and were constructed as New Haven's first "fireproof" structures. Page 7/3 of the National Register documentation is now revised to reflect this change as recommended by the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Office, NPS. Reference: See MARO memorandum, Part I applications, and State Review sheets. Note: The historic district is inadvertently misnamed by the State on the review sheets as the Chapel Street Historic District, they should read the Ninth Square Historic District.

    X. APPENDIX B – Profile of City of New Haven Welcome to New Haven! Strategically situated in south central Connecticut, New Haven is the gateway to New England, a small city which serves as a major transportation and economic hub between New York and Boston. Justly known as the cultural capital of Connecticut, New Haven is a major center for culture and entertainment, as well as business activity, world‐class research and education. As the home to Yale University and three other colleges and universities, New Haven has long been hub of academic training, scholarship and research. Anchored by the presence of Yale University and numerous state and federal agencies, New Haven is a major center for professional services, in particular architecture and law. And drawing on a spirit of Yankee ingenuity that dates to Eli Whitney, New Haven continues to be a significant manufacturing center; the city is home to high‐tech fabrics company Uretek, Inc., Assa Abloy, makers of high tech door security systems, and a vibrant food manufacturing sector. In 2009, surgical products manufacturer Covidien announced its headquarters and 400 Executive and support positions would relocate to New Haven’s Long Wharf. In 2013, Alexion Pharmaceuticals announced its plans to construct a 500,000sf global headquarters for its growing biotech company which will open in 2015. More importantly, the City of New Haven and its partners are investing for the future and despite the worst recession of the post‐World War ii era, New Haven is thriving and is in the midst of one of the strongest periods of business growth in decades.
