Houses and mansions in Hartford
This tour visits places the Register records as dwellings, among them single houses, rowhouses and mansions. Many are private homes and the stops are meant to be seen from the sidewalk. More of the Hartford register is houses than any other kind of building, 28 listings of it in all.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1864 to 1874. 11 stops, 1.8 miles end to end. Of the stops, 2 are National Historic Landmarks.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Oct 16, 2026.

Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data, or from Wikidata where the spatial data has no point. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed November 02, 2026.
