Hartford's Sisson-South Whitney's Spell: A Tale from Asylum Hill

In 1998, Hartford's Sisson-South Whitney, like a witch's brew, concocted itself on Asylum Hill. A gaggle of 150 morose mansions, this macabre suburb was a playground for late-Victorian and early 20th-century architecture - ghastly remains echoing Hartford's post-war discontent. Malcontent ghosts and factory barons, lured by the insurance and manufacturing industries that pulsed into Hartford like a Ouija, settled here. As the district transitioned from an idyllic paradise to a lively streetcar suburb, a restless crowd stirred. Today, the Sisson-South Whitney Historic District beckons history enthusiasts, jobless spirits, and old-timers, bound by their love for Hartford's vibrant and chilling lore.
