After some debate about which neighborhood this house is in, I checked out a map to see that it is in Barry Square. Just west of Broad Street, this house has sports fields in its backyard. A short walk across the Trinity campus would bring you to the Underground Coffeehouse, something that, for non-Trinity folks, is too-well-kept of a secret. I’ve learned that this coffee joint is open seven days a week, and contrary to what the web page states, has hours late into the evening. It might be the only (non-DD) place to get a decent cup of coffee in Hartford after 3pm on a Sunday.
After my initial excitement of stumbling across this house, I thought that it might not actually fit the Casa Linda criteria, which is only that people live there. Looking through Trinity campus maps, I found that my guess was likely correct. That side of campus contains administrative, cultural, and religious buildings. So, I’m going to break the rules and post this anyway, but rest assured, this does not set a precedent for a wave of houses that have been turned into law and psychotherapy offices. Since I found another house nearby that also is not a true Casa Linda, I’m posting the photo below:
