Post Hill is a historic, high-density residential enclave in New London, Connecticut, rising east of Huntington Street into the site of the city's earliest European settlement. The neighborhood forms a quiet, tree-lined showcase of New London's 19th-century whaling prosperity, with grand Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Shingle, and Colonial Revival homes surrounding Williams Memorial Park. Ye Antientist Burial Ground — one of the earliest graveyards in New England — occupies a prominent hillside and is the final resting place for early leaders, including Connecticut Governor Gurdon Saltonstall. The cemetery also contains exceptional examples of 18th-century New England gravestone art by recognized master carvers. As a cohesive concentration of buildings, structures, and sites, Post Hill documents the development of one of New London's oldest areas from the first settlement through the mid-20th century. Its architectural integrity and range of high-quality styles give the district statewide significance. Together, the dense residential fabric and landmark burial ground create a walkable landscape just up the hill from downtown. - AsNotedIn
