Asylum Avenue District
Asylum Avenue District, Historic district in Hartford, United States
The Asylum Avenue District features Victorian, Colonial Revival, and Queen Anne buildings along a major thoroughfare in Hartford's residential area.
The district was primarily developed in the late 19th century when Hartford experienced substantial growth as numerous wealthy families constructed large residences.
Four churches represent different architectural styles, including the Gothic Revival Asylum Hill Congregational Church and the International style Cathedral of St. Joseph.
The district extends between Asylum and Farmington Avenues, with Sigourney Street serving as the central axis for institutional buildings.
The district contains the West Middle School campus, combining a 1930 Georgian Revival structure with an older Romanesque building.
