Elm Street's Time Trek: A leisurely stroll through a century

Elm Street's Time Trek: A leisurely stroll through a century

Feeling froggy? Hop on over to Hartford's Elm Street Historic District, a skip and a jump back in time with architecture dating from the 1800s to the mid-1900s.

Welcome to Hartford's Elm Street Historic District, mate. It's like stepping into a flick from yesteryear, if you catch my drift? Those swanky buildings on Capitol Avenue and Trinity Street are a mix of Gothic, Romanesque, Beaux-Arts, Art Deco, and Classical Revival. Oh, and let's not miss out on the Bushnell Memorial Hall, still going strong as a landmark in the Nutmeg State. It's just a short stroll from the Connecticut State Capitol, right here in sunny Hartford, Connecticut. To top it all off, Bushnell Park parkies it on the north and the state capital's grounds keep a friendly eye on it to the west.
