The historic Sherman Building is the site of Union League Cafe which is located directly across from Yale University and steps from the historic green of New Haven, Connecticut. The restaurant is situated on the site of the home of New Haven's first Mayor, Roger Sherman, the only American whose name appears on the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. One hundred years later, Gaius Fenn Warnier, one of the city's leading industrialists, built his townhouse, which today forms the core of the building.
