Detailed History
Nothing is known about The Gertrude. During the two years it offered accommodation to African American travelers, the New London city directories had over 100 entries for furnished rooms, but none at 88 Bank. The building has a storefront on the first floor, and residential space above, where rooms at The Gertrude would have been located.В How this property came to be listed in The Green Book is a mystery. Listed in the Downtown New London National Register Historic District.
