English: The house at 34 Bulkeley Place at the corner of Hempstead Street in New London, Connecticut, was built c.1842 by Joseph Aborn Smith in the Greek Revival style with a Second Empire-style tower. It is part of the Prospect Street Historic District

The district encompasses approximately 5.5 acres northwest of the central business district of New London, Connecticut. The district is bounded by Bulkeley Place on the north, Hempstead Street on the west, Federal Street on the south and Huntington Street on the east, with the exception of 116 Federal Street on the south side of the street. Prospect Street bisects the district on a north-south axis. The residential area includes 24 buildings, most of which are Greek Revival or Italianate houses built between 1838 and 1859. The area was developed in response to local demand for increased middle-class housing, and the dense development and modest scale of the buildings is reflective of this objective. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. {Description source: NRHP
