The Land

Purchased from George Affleck for $11,000 by a group of Asylum Hill residents who were members of the First and Second Baptist Churches in downtown Hartford; the lot measured 100 feet on Asylum Avenue and 200 feet on Sigourney Street (same dimensions as today).

The Asylum Hill residents who comprised the purchasers group are so far unidentified, but they were members of the First and Second Baptist Churches in downtown Hartford.
