| Hartford's WestEnd neighborhood is an architectural gem. Much of the
neighborhood was built around the turn of the century and reflects the styles of that
period. Five sections of the West End are listed on the National Register of Historic
Districts, about 70% of the entire neighborhood. These range from estate-like homes in the
northern section, large single family Victorians in the middle and southern sections, and
older apartment buildings in the east (now known as Clemens Place).
The West End is also home to the University of Connecticut School
of Law, and the Hartford Seminary. There is a large community garden at the Law School and
two soccer fields use throughout the fall and spring by the West End Soccer League and
others. The commercial strip along Farmington Avenue provides much of the retail and
service needs of the neighbors. It was
home to the poet Wallace Stevens. |
