The Board of Alderman considered a request by George Affleck for permission to build a house on Asylum Avenue.

Trust but verify

It’s unclear if this house was for himself or for someone else. If he wasn’t already, some time between now and his death he would occupy a house on the same property as his nursery, but his obituary indicated that he speculated in real estate.

Neat little tidbit

The Board of Aldermen also received a report on a proposal to expand Hartford’s water supply. The proposal included the construction of a new reservoir on Zion’s Hill, which is where Henry Affleck had his nursery.
The Hartford Court of Common Council, meeting the same night, passed a resolution that laid out Niles Street.
