On Sunday, September 25th, Norwalk Preservation Trust led an architectural and historical walking tour around the Wall Street Historic District, followed by a festive tasting reception featuring the best of local restaurants, held at the Wall Street Theatre.<\/p>\n
Norwalk’s Wall Street was a vibrant hub of business, banking, shipping, logistics, transportation, and entertainment. It was the heart of the city, where fortunes were made and reputations were built. Then came the flood, a catastrophe in 1955, the ferocity and scale of which is hard to imagine standing beside the Norwalk River today. The tour explored the past, present, and future of this vital, central district situated along and across the river.<\/p>\n
