Lucius Barbour House

The Lucius Barbour House is a historic house at 130 Washington Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1865, it is a high-quality local example of Italianate architecture executed in brick. It is also noted for its interior, which is a well-preserved later Victorian remodeling of the original. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Description and history The Lucius Barbour House stands about three blocks south of Hartford's Capitol District, on the east side of Washington Street a short way north of Park Street. Washington Street is a major north–south artery in the city, and was historically lined with some of the city's grandest mansions. Many of them have since been demolished to make way for either commercial development or apartment buildings. The Barbour House is one of the few that survive. It is a 2+1⁄2-story structure, built out of red brick, with a three-story tower at the center of its southern facade. Its form is basically that of a cube, which has been embellished by projecting window bays and wrought iron porches. Many windows are set in segmented-arch openings framed by bracketed sills and lintels. The third floor of the tower is mostly banked sash windows, and the roof of both the tower and main block have projecting eaves with paired brackets. The front facade has been marred by a modern addition to the right of the entrance. The house was built in 1865 by Lucius Barbour, who made a fortune in the dry goods business and real estate speculation. The interior was redecorated about 1890, after Barbour's son (also named Lucius) took over the property. It features elaborate Victorian woodwork, plaster, and tile in each of the public rooms, and original wall treatments from the restyling survive, including wallpaper and stencilwork. A few rooms upstairs were later redecorated with more Adamesque Colonial Revival details. The house now houses professional offices.

Boce W. Barlow Jr. House

The Boce W. Barlow Jr. House is a historic house at 31 Canterbury Street in Hartford, Connecticut. An architecturally undistinguished two-story built in 1926, it was from 1958 home to Boce W. Barlow Jr. (1915–2005), the first African-American to win election to the Connecticut State Senate, and a prominent figure in Hartford politics. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Description and history The Boce W. Barlow Jr. House is located in Hartford's northernmost Blue Hills neighborhood, on the west side of Canterbury Street north of Westbourne Parkway. It is one of a number of similar homes on the street, which was subdivided and built out in the 1920s. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a side gable roof, clapboarded exterior, and two brick chimneys, one at the left side and one in the interior behind the roof ridge. The main facade is three bays wide, with the outer bays filled by paired sash windows. The main entrance is at the center, sheltered by a bracketed gable-roofed hood. A smaller pair of sash windows are set above the entrance. The house was built in 1926, and was purchased in 1958 by Boce Barlow Jr. Born in Georgia, Barlow came to Hartford with his parents when he was one year old, attended Hartford High School, and graduated from Howard University in 1939 as class president. After serving in World War II in a segregated unit, he graduated from Harvard Law School, one of only four African-Americans in his class. Like his father before him, he was active in Democratic Party politics, and won election to the state senate in 1966, serving two terms. When he moved into this house in 1958 with his wife and children, they were the first African-Americans on the block, and were subjected to harassment and prejudicial behavior. Barlow continued to distinguish himself, serving in a variety of state posts that advanced the cause of equal rights. The city named a street in his honor in 1987.

Amos Bull House

The Amos Bull House is a historic house at 59 South Prospect Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1788, it is one of only a few surviving 18th-century buildings in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1968. It presently houses the main offices of Connecticut Landmarks, a historic preservation organization. Description and history The Amos Bull House stands just south of the Pulaski Mall, south of Downtown Hartford, on the west side of South Prospect Street. This is not the house's original location, which was a short way west on Main Street; it has been moved twice. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building with a gambrel roof. It is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the leftmost bay. Openings on the front facade are rectangular, and topped by splayed brownstone lintels. The front cornice is adorned with dentil moulding, a detail repeated in gabled dormers projecting from the roof. On the exposed side elevation there is a small sash window in a peaked-gable opening in the gable area, with a smaller half-round window above it just below the roof ridge. The interior only retains a few traces of its 18th-century origin. The house's exact construction date is unknown. It was standing by 1791, when Amos Bull advertised his dry goods business from its address. Since he sold it in 1820, it has housed a variety of commercial enterprises. Originally located facing Main Street, it was moved back from the sidewalk in the early 20th century, and was later moved across the block to its present location.

Selden Brewer House

The Selden Brewer House is a historic house at Naubuc Avenue and Main Street in East Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1827, it is a good local example of late Federal/early Greek Revival architecture. It was built and owned for many years by a prominent local tobacco-growing family. Originally located on High Street, it was moved to its present location in the 1980s, and now houses offices of the local historical society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Description and history The Selden Brewer House is located in a mixed commercial-residential area of southern East Hartford, and the southern corner of Main Street and Naubuc Avenue. It is a three-story brick structure with a low-pitch hip roof surrounded by a wooden paneled balustrade. The building is roughly cube-shaped in appearance, with its facade facing north toward Main Street. Only three bays wide, the bays are set closely together near the center of the facade. A single-story porch extends across the entire width of the facade. The third floor of the house functions as a raised attic, with narrow windows below the eave. The interior includes a mix of stylistic elements, ranging from the Federal to the Late Victorian. The house was built c. 1827–30, probably by Samuel Brewer, although the property was then listed as belonging to his sixteen-year-old son Selden. The Brewers were a prominent local landowner since the 1750s, and were engaged in the growing of tobacco, for which this portion of the Connecticut River valley was well suited. It is the oldest home associated with the family to survive. It was originally located on High Street, which at the time was lined with similar high-quality homes. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1979, the property was completely surrounded by modern development and access ramps to Connecticut Route 2. It was moved to its present location in the 1980s, and now houses offices of the local historical society.

Bristol Girls' Club

The Bristol Girls' Club is a historic clubhouse facility at 47 Upson Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1931, it is believed to be the first purpose-built clubhouse for a branch of the Girls Club of America, a social and educational organization dedicated to improving conditions for urban and immigrant girls. The building, a fine example of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture in brick, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It now serves as the location of Chapter 126, a sports and fitness center specifically serving disabled people. Description and history The Bristol Girls' Club building is located about four blocks south of Bristol center, on the south side of Upson Street just east of West Street. The building has two major portions, the older one a 2-1/2 story brick building in the Dutch Colonial Revival style. It is oriented perpendicular to the street, and fronts a much larger modern addition which houses primarily athletic facilities. The older structure is organized as a central block with flanking end blocks that only project slightly; each section is covered by a gambrel roof with dormers. The interior of the building houses offices, a kitchen and dining room, and smaller gymnasium spaces. The Bristol Girls' Club was founded in 1928, and originally met in a rented space. It offered a variety of after-school and evening activities, including domestic education such as cooking and sewing, athletics including dance, volleyball, horseshoes, and baseball, and other social activities. It was immediately popular, subscribing 351 girls in its first month. The community began a fund drive to build a permanent home for the club, which culminated in the construction of this building in 1931. It was designed by Charles Scranton Palmer of New Haven. The club was one of the founding members of the national Girls Clubs of America organization when it was organized in 1945 in Springfield, Massachusetts. See also Eloise B.

Ernest R. Burwell House

The Ernest R. Burwell House is a historic house at 161 Grove Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1918, it is an outstanding example of a Classical Revival residence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Description and history The Ernest R. Burwell House is located on the east side of Bristol's fashionable Federal Hill residential area, at the northeast corner of Grove and Oakland Streets. Although it faces Grove Street, it is set well back, with a tree-dotted lawn and semi-circular drive in between. It is a two-story masonry structure, its exterior finished in stucco. It is covered by a low-pitch hip roof, at whose center is an elevated monitor section. The roof was originally encircled by a low balustrade, which has been removed; a similar balustrade still adorns the garage. The main facade is three bays wide, the central one sheltered by a massive two-story four-column temple portico, with Doric columns rising to an entablature and fully pedimented and dentillated gable. An open porch is set to the left, and a solarium enclosed in glass is to the right. The interior is lavishly finished, with parquet floors in the foyer, a grand curving staircase, and mahogany paneling and bookcases in the library. The house was built in 1918 to a design by New Britain architect Walter Crabtree. Ernest Burwell, for whom it was built, was a native of New Hartford, who made a fortune in coal, ice, and trucking, and eventually became president of the Bristol Manufacturing Company, a textile maker. Crabtree's design is one of his more ambitious residential designs; although he also designed the now-demolished DeWitt Page Mansion which stood next door, his best-known works in the region are commercial designs.

Charter Oak Bank Building

The Charter Oak Bank Building is a historic commercial building at 114-124 Asylum Street in Downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1861, it is the city's only surviving example of commercial Italianate architecture from the mid-19th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The Charter Oak Bank Building is located on Downtown Hartford, at the Northeast Corner of Trumbull and Asylum Streets. It is a four-story masonry structure, built with load-bearing walls of brownstone. It is covered by a flat roof with a deep modillioned and bracketed cornice, and has a rounded bay at the street corner. The ground floor has commercial storefronts, with mainly reproductions of Italianate styling details. Windows on the second floor are topped by bracketed caps with segmental arches, on the third by gabled caps, and on the fourth by flat caps. The Charter Oak Bank was chartered in 1853, and originally had offices at Main and Pratt Street. It purchased this lot in 1860, then occupied by a Unitarian church. The church was demolished and this building was completed the following year. Its stone probably came from the Portland Brownstone Quarries in Portland, Connecticut. The bank occupied the building until 1915, although it sold it in 1865. It was merged into Phoenix National Bank in 1915. The building was acquired in 1915 by City Bank, founded in 1851. It failed in 1932 during the Great Depression; the building has seen a variety of owners since then, and underwent a major restoration in 1976.

Ambassador Apartments (Hartford, Connecticut)

The Ambassador Apartments is an historic residential complex at 206–210 Farmington Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Completed in 1921, it is a significant local example of Renaissance Revival architecture, designed by the prominent local firm of Berenson and Moses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. Description and history The Ambassador Apartments are located in Hartford's Asylum Hill neighborhood, just west of its downtown, on the north side of Farmington Avenue west of its junction with Sigourney Street. It is a large H-shaped building, five stories in height, its exterior consisting of load-bearing brick and cast stone walls. The front building corners consist of brick pilasters with stone capitals, with a pressed metal cornice at the roof line. The ground floor functions visually as an elevated basement, with banded stone between rectangular window openings, and round-arch entrances in the courtyard between the building wings. Second-floor windows are set in openings with bracketed cornices and sills. The complex was built between 1917 and 1921 to a design by the prominent local architectural firm Berenson and Moses. The property was, until 1912, part of the mansion estate of Pliny Jewell, owner of a local belt manufacturer. When built, its 128 apartments featured all of the latest amenities, including a parking garage for tenant vehicles and a dining hall seating 300. The then-furnished northeast wing was damaged by fire in 1920; damage was limited by firewalls, but delayed completion of the entire building. Nicolo Carabillo, the developer, failed to turn a profit, and sold the building in 1925 to avoid foreclosure. By the 1970s, the building had declined in grandeur, and was acquired by the Aetna Insurance Company, whose headquarters are nearby. Aetna sold the building in 1999 after completing extensive rehabilitation to its apartments. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Hartford, Connecticut References
The Village (Hartford, Connecticut)

The Village is a social service agency providing community services and resources for at-risk families and children in Hartford, Connecticut. With an organizational history dating to the early 19th century, it is one of the oldest such institutions in the state. Its architecturally distinguished campus, located 1680 Albany Avenue, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Services The Village provides a broad array of services intended to support the needs of children and families. Services offered include financial and social services for at-risk families, more intensive services including outpatient and inpatient residential treatments for children with emotional and mental health issues, and adoption placement services. Campus The Village's primary facilities are located in Northwestern Hartford, at the Junction of Albany Avenue (United States Route 44) and Bloomfield Avenue (Connecticut Route 189). Resembling an English country village, it was designed by New York architect Grosvenor Atterbury and built in the 1920s. The "cottage plan" of its layout, with multiple smaller buildings, was then a popular form for the institutional treatment of needy individuals. Although there is a similarity of design to the buildings in the complex, each one has unique and distinguishing characteristics, in a bid to give each one a more homelike feeling for its residents. History The Village's origins are in a number of early social services organizations whose foundings were in the early 19th century. The Female Beneficent Society was founded in 1809 for the benefit of indigent girls, and the Hartford Orphan Asylum was established in 1833. These organizations merged in 1865, retaining the name "Hartford Orphan Asylum". It built a dormitory-style facility on Putnam Avenue in 1879. With the rise in popularity of the "cottage plan" for institutional housing, the organization had its current campus built in the 1920s on land donated by Reverend Francis Goodwin. Through the 20th century, the organization's mission broadened beyond the care of orphaned children to include family services, seeking to address issues caused by poverty and family breakdown.

Esperanza (New Hartford, Connecticut)

Esperanza is a historic country estate at 511 Town Hill Road in New Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1835 and extensively enlarged and restyled in 1893, it is a high-quality example of Colonial Revival architecture on an original Greek Revival frame. Julie Palmer Smith (sometimes referred to as Julia Palmer Smith), one of its original owners, was a noted author of Victorian romance novels. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, at which time it remained in the hands of Smith descendants. Description and history Esperanza is located in a rural but geographically central part of New Hartford, at the northwest corner of Town Hill Road and Beeney Road. The 18-acre (7.3 ha) property is wooded in its eastern part, where its buildings are located, and is a tree-fringed cleared field to the west. The estate includes a main house and two small guest houses, a carriage house, and a summer kitchen. The main house is a somewhat rambling multigabled 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with porches to the east (where the main entrance is) and the west (where the fields provide a view to the hills further west). It is now predominantly Colonial Revival in style, with aspects of the Shingle style evident in some of its details. The two guest houses are vernacular single-story buildings with Colonial Revival porches. Morris and Julie Palmer Smith, residents of Hartford, first bought a prospective summer estate in New Hartford in 1871, but it burned down in November of that year. The following year they purchased the 85-acre (34 ha) farm of Frederick Lyman, which included the c. 1835 Greek Revival farmstead. This house was enlarged and restyled by Julie Smith, using the proceeds of her successful line of Victorian romance novels. In 1893 it underwent a major facelift, designed by Hartford architect Melvin H. Hapgood, at which time most of its Colonial Revival features were added. The Smiths played host to literary and artistic figures including Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Gillette, and George Inness.

Judea Cemetery

Judea Cemetery, also known as Old Judea Cemetery, is a colonial era burying ground located on Judea Road in Washington, Connecticut, United States. Before it became a separate town in 1779, and chose to name itself "Washington", the area was known as "Judea", and was part of Woodbury, Connecticut. Judea Cemetery is the site of a monument in honor of "Jeff Liberty and His Colored Patriots", erected in the early 20th century. The cemetery is thought to be the resting place of a number of African-American soldiers who served in the American Revolutionary War, including Jeff Liberty. Liberty was enslaved by Continental Army Captain Jonathan Farrand, who is buried in Old Judea. Captain Farrand manumitted Jeff Liberty for fighting in the Continental Army. "Liberty" is known to have been chosen as a surname by a number of enslaved people who were manumitted in this era. Spy thriller novelist Edward S. Aarons (1916–1975) is buried in Judea.
