UpperAlbany

Prior to 1880, most of UpperAlbany Avenue was occupied by family farms. In 1871, the Connecticut and Western Railroad was constructed leading to the establishment of industry in the area south of Homestead Avenue. Before 1900, the extension of Hartford's electric streetcar system lead to the development of large residential development, most of which exist today in good condition. Most of the houses in the neighborhood were built between 1890 and 1920. Ua-2_small.gif (44071 bytes)
