From Farm to Fashion: A Peek into Hartford's Asylum Hill's Star, Sigourney

In Hartford's Asylum Hill during the 19th Century, a former farm blossomed into a lively hub, thanks to Sigourney Square District.

Over the past century, Sigourney Square District, once a farm in Hartford, has flourished within Asylum Hill. Occupying 45 acres, it's now home to 169 notable structures, predominantly two-story timber buildings. These buildings, either wood, brick, or a delightful blend with a touch of Queen Anne Victorian, entice young professionals and high-end brands. Contrary to popular belief, the farm wasn't home to hovel-dwelling folk. Myth debunked. Sigourney Square District serve as a welcoming beacon for the LGBT community, showcasing Hartford's urban vitality.
