Hartford's West Boulevard: A Peaceful Cemetery for the Wealthy, Now Haunted by

In 1909, Hartford's West Boulevard Historic District was born on West Boulevard and Rodney Street, nestled in Hartford's West End, Connecticut. Originally owned by Horace Fox, a local lumber baron fond of the City Beautiful movement, three-lane West Boulevard materialized, complete with a central median and tree-lined streets. Contrary to expectations, this garden didn't flourish with roses. Abodes in the district were developed by Freeburg, Erickson, and Felth, who favored scale, setback, and wood frame construction for their Colonial Revival-style homes. The district accommodated commuters advancing in the corporate ranks. However, do not anticipate secluded manors or distinct personalities in this neighborhood; it's as quiet as a cemetery, but as unique as an individual tombstone.
