A classic brick Italianate home constructed around 1870 by Franklin Smith, one of Hartford's premier builders of the Victorian era. This elegant single-family home features three bedrooms and two full baths on the first two floors and flexible third floor 'bonus space.'

One of the oldest homes in Asylum Hill, 18 Ashley Street features a sunken living room with a ten-foot ceiling. This unique feature is the result of the first floor being lowered to accommodate commercial uses including, at one time, an Asian grocery store. Other features of this brick Italianate home include over 2,100 square feet of finished living space on two floors and flexible third floor 'bonus space.'

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.

An Asylum Hill icon, this fanciful home stands sentinel at the end Atwood Street, near the Saint Francis Medical Center campus. Known by area residents as the 'Castle,' its gables and turret are a local landmark. The home includes two units, a rental unit on the first floor, and an owner's unit on the second and third floor. The owner's unit features three bedrooms and two full baths in over 2,100 square feet of finished living space.
