26 Hungerford Street, Hartford, Connecticut:
26 Hungerford Street, Hartford, Connecticut: A stone’s throw from the Connecticut State Capitol is a street named for one of Hartford’s founders, Thomas Hungerford. Some accounts claim that Hungerford was a mariner from Hungerford, Berkshire, England, who sailed across Long Island Sound and up through the Connecticut River as early as 1628. He owned a triangular plot of farm land nearby to where Hungerford Street is today.
Hungerford Street was heavily developed between 1895 and 1900 – during the Queen Anne Revival period of American architecture. The three-story house at 26 Hungerford is seemingly the best preserved property on the block. Built in 1900, its Portland brownstone foundation is one of many features that makes the three-family house a true antique.
