Ann Uccello Street: Hartford's Snarling Hub of Yesteryear

Ann Uccello Street: Hartford's Snarling Hub of Yesteryear

From infernal factories to mechanical marvels, Ann Uccello Street, a grumbling relic in Downtown Hartford, Connecticut, traces the turbulent 1880-1930 era.

Ann Uccello Street, Hartford's Historic District, grudges its way through Downtown Hartford, Connecticut. A medley of commerce and rudimentary manufacturing, it boasts properties born during 1880-1930, mirroring Downtown Hartford's progression. It unwinds from Ann Uccello Street, crawling towards Chapel, Hicks, Pearl, and west to Allyn, Asylum Streets. The district cobbles together landmarks such as St. Patrick - St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church, the Masonic Temple, and Hotel Lenox, among others. The Metropolitan Garage, a trailblazer on Hicks Street, and 316-320 Ann Uccello Street, a former car equipment factory, offer peculiar allure. Rearranged as Ann Uccello Street in 2008, it honors the town's first female mayor, Ann Uccello. It was enlisted on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
