Caron Street

Located at the end of Caron Street, the single-family home at 51 Caron St. was built in 1949, about a decade before Queen City Avenue was extended to connect Elm Street and South Willow Street. That extension of Queen City Avenue separated Calef Road and Caron Street into two parts bisected by the new arterial throughfare, with 51 Caron St. now just north of the expanded Queen City Avenue. There had been plans to construct a new small multi-family building on the site until a new state law capping local parking requirements and the city’s new zoning ordinance came into effect earlier this year transitioning the neighborhood’s zoning from residential to mixed-use, bringing plans for development back to the drawing board.
