150 years ago, Hartford was a center of manufacturing for sewing machines and bicycles
in the area that is now close to Aetna and the State Capitol. One manufacturer
built workers' housing on Columbia Street in the neighborhood.

All units (except end units) are identical inside, but the exteriors have nice variations.
The front gardens were open for touring recently during "Hartford Blooms."

These are very nice looking houses Jack.
They're some remarkably attractive properties for workers' housing; perhaps more for managers and foremen than the men on the factory floor?
They have been maintained very well. I think I would have preferred an end unit. Hope that you took some photos of the interiors.
i really like it!
We have some workers' housing, but not nearly good as these...
Great looking place!! I would have enjoyed having housing like that provided!! Hope your week is going well, Jack!!
Nice houses! I'll bet they go for a pretty penny these days.
Beautifully maintained places. Places like this have a charm all their own.
Old workers cottages are so much in demand now, young trendy couples love them!
Very attractive housing and well maintained landscaping.
I also like the fact that they are all in one row. So pretty.

Very pretty workers' housing, each one with its own green !
P.S. Is there a place somewhere without a flag ? :)
My goodness what huge houses
Looks like a nice heighbourhood
It's like Saltaire, Jack! I bet those end units went to foremen. It's nice to see them so well maintained!
Now that is the sort of architecture I love to see when traveling around America. Interesting concept.
As RedPat says, just like Saltaire but a widely different style of houses. They still look nice properties though. I love the porches.
They're very pretty, Jack.
They are beautiful Jack. I would love to see the inside.
I like these old brick structures. Very historic.
Nice looking place to live.
And I assume the prices have gone up quite a bit.
