Venture down the paving stones of Elm Street, a road drenched in the vapors of Rocky Hill. A wide, 300-foot expanse, it's a fascination that dates back to the 17th century. By 1998, it found itself a fine quilted spot on the National Register of Historic Places, draped in homes dating from 1769 to the 1930s. About two-thirds of those houses rose during the first quarter of the 20th century, a period nourishing an odd love for the Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Craftsman/Bungalow styles. The district's family reunion also includes three each of Italianate and Queen Anne styles, and three late Greek Revival buildings. The unremarkable brick house at 43 Elm Street, flatter than a tombstone, barely casts a pall over the district's supernatural allure.
