Ralph Ingersoll
This house at the corner of Elm and Temple Streets in New Haven was built in 1829, and it was originally the home of Ralph Ingersoll, a US Congressman who later served as the US Minister to Russia. Among his guests at this house was President Andrew Jackson, who visited here in 1833.
The house was later owned by Ingersoll’s son Charles, who served as governor of Connecticut from 1873 to 1877. He died in 1903, and in 1919 the house was purchased by Yale.
