221 Garden Street ~ The Grand Italianate
During the years immediately before and after the Civil War, Asylum Hill emerged as the most prestigious neighborhood in Hartford. Gracious homes lined the main avenues and cross streets, many built in a new, distinctive style known as the Italianate, in honor of the villas of Northern Italy from which this style drew its inspiration. 221 Garden Street is an excellent surviving example of this style. Its elaborate porticos, brick exterior, brownstone lintels and sills, and low pyramidal roof with wide overhang are hallmarks of the Italianate style in Hartford. Inside, its expansive floor plan with over 2,500 square feet of finished living space and 805 square feet of third floor 'bonus space' is the epitome of graceful, urban living. Features:

• 3,325 Square Foot
• Single-Family Home
