Ann Street Historic District

Ann Street Historic District spans several city blocks with notable commercial and industrial buildings stretching from Chapel Street to Hicks Street. The 22 contributing structures date mostly from 1880 to 1930 and display Hartford's architectural development during this era of growth.

The district emerged during Hartford's rapid industrial expansion between 1880 and 1930 when commerce and manufacturing shaped the city's character. Its 1983 listing on the National Register recognized this importance as a witness to a transformative period in the city's history.

St. Patrick - St. Anthony Church has anchored the neighborhood since 1849 and reflects the religious identity of the community. The Masonic Temple from 1894 shows how different organizations shaped the social fabric of the district.

The district sits in downtown Hartford and is easily walkable, with streets and sidewalks maintaining their historic layout. The Metropolitan Garage on Hicks Street offers parking for visitors arriving by car.

The street was officially renamed Ann Uccello Street in 2008 to honor Ann Uccello, Hartford's first female mayor. This renaming connects the district to an important moment in both the city's and women's history.
