This tour covers the Sigourney Square District, which runs between Woodland Street and Garden Street north of Collins Street. It covers landmarks gone and not often remembered in the neighborhood, including the Hartford Reservoir, the Hartford Almshouse and Pest House, some of the historic residents of the district, and even the old traffic patterns. The tour also serves as a primer to architectural and housing development in the second half of the 19th century. In person, the tour typically runs 45 minutes to an hour, and it goes as far west as Huntington Street, but the virtual tour extends throughout the district to Woodland Street.
