The Asylum Hill neighborhood in Hartford, CT consists of 30 blocks that was once home to Mark Twain, author of Tom Sawyer and other great works, and abolitionist writer Harriet Beecher Stowe. Bordering downtown, this historic area is one of great potential, yet has been affected by years of poverty and lack of community investment. Asylum Hill became a prominent neighborhood in the 1840s, as families sought spacious homes outside of the city center. Between 1910 and 1930, several insurance companies moved into the area, making Asylum Hill the only residential neighborhood in Hartford with a major corporate presence.
