The Imperial Granum-Joseph Parker Buildings in New Haven, Connecticut is a listing of two buildings on 0.9 acres (0.36 ha) on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Imperial Granum Building, built in 1875, is at 47 Elm Street and the Joseph Parker Building, built separately in 1877, is at 49-51 Elm Street. The buildings came under one owner in 1945, and the buildings were joined in upper floors by brick walls being broken through. Also a shared, interior staircase was created. The combo is also known as Del Monico Building.[1][2]
According to the 1986 National Register nomination, the Imperial Granum Building, named for a patent medicine, has the only cast-iron facade in New Haven, and the Joseph Parker Building is the best surviving example of Victorian Gothic commercial architecture in the city. A store named DelMonico Hatter occupied part or all of the first floor, in photo included in the nomination.[2]
