West End


These houses are on Oxford Street in the West End of Hartford, late in November.


These are on Girard Avenue.

  5. There is some serious square footage in these houses. I hope they are well insulated for winter.

  7. Lovely old homes. I really like the way the lighting and fall colors in that second shot really enhance the peacefulness of the street.

  12. Beautiful street.What I like is that the homes fit the landscape (ie old and original) as opposed to some of the new fab "McMansions" I've seen go up over here.

  19. Such an elegant town. The houses are so tastefully fancy, with their gables, pillars and porches.

  20. At least in the older parts of St. Louis, it's common for the entrance to be several steps higher than the sidewalk, just like here. I sometimes wonder why that was done, and how.
