NHL: Connecticut Hall

October 30, 2010 by Steve Leave a Comment

CT National Historic Landmark Connecticut Hall Old Campus, New Haven This building is so old and so special and so important, it doesn’t have a real street address. No matter where I look, it’s address is always simply “Old Campus.” Such is the power of Yale. (If curious, it is in the cluster of Yale buildings … [Read more...]

177. ArtPlace at Yale Physician’s Building

August 10, 2010 by Steve Leave a Comment

You Need Guts to Go Here… Um, No You Don’t New Haven (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 No, this isn’t a museum. Not even close. But since I recently opened up my CTMQ definitions to include non-commercial galleries, I’ve been able to check out some interesting and different types of what I still loosely … [Read more...]

171. Urban Museum of Modern Architecture (6 of 7)

June 21, 2010 by Steve 1 Comment

When a No-Longer Non-Museum Museum is Still a Museum To Me Seven Buildings, New Haven Various Dates Dec 2010 Update: I received a comment on an old museum page about the modernist Knights of Columbus Museum from a woman representing the New Haven Preservation Trust who says that a survey is being done in 2010 … [Read more...]

167. Fairfield County Sports Hall of Fame

May 27, 2010 by Steve 1 Comment

I Went Here Just to Make Fun of Bruce Jenner Stamford (Google Maps location) May 8, 2010 Note: The title and content of this page were all written well before Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn so I wasn't making fun of her for any of the gender stuff. Since the Connecticut Sports Hall of Fame disappeared* with the … [Read more...]

154. Museum of Jewish Civilization

March 21, 2010 by Steve 3 Comments

Do Not to Passover This Place (Pt. 1) West Hartford (Google Maps location) March 3, 2010 2019 Update: The museum dropped Sherman's name and is now just the Museum of Jewish Civilization. References to "the Sherman" below are historical. Let’s dispense with it right away: The University of Hartford has a very … [Read more...]

155. The Joseloff Gallery

March 4, 2010 by Steve Leave a Comment

Hung Juried West Hartford (Google Maps Location) March 3, 2010 I don’t know how many college and private boarding/prep school art galleries there are in the state, but since I started including them, I can’t stop now. And really, what would the dividing line be? Trust me, it’s impossible to determine. Not … [Read more...]

NHL: Samuel Wadsworth Russell House

February 18, 2010 by Steve Leave a Comment

Samuel Wadsworth Russell House National Historic Landmark 350 High Street, Middletown, quasi-public Now this place just looks like a National Historic Landmark. I’d stopped by in the midst of my Middletown Heritage Trail experience and wussed out on poking around inside. Now I know I should have… Especially … [Read more...]

NHL: Richard Alsop IV House

February 18, 2010 by Steve Leave a Comment

Richard Alsop IV House National Historic Landmark 301 High St., Middletown (House is owned by Wesleyan and you can maybe check it out with a guide) Funny – I’ve been inside this NHL and had no idea. You see, Wesleyan’s Davison Art Center is located inside this beautiful old house, and I visited that a while … [Read more...]

126. Wilbur Cross Gallery (Gone)

February 2, 2010 by Steve Leave a Comment

No Need to Get Cross With Me Storrs/Mansfield (Google Maps Location) July 17, 2009 Please note that this was written in 2009 and that I am pretty sure this gallery no longer exists as it did back then. I spent four (and, ahem, a half, ahem) years and several tens of thousands of my father’s hard-earned money at … [Read more...]

138. Hartford Medical Society Historical Library

September 24, 2009 by Steve 2 Comments

Make No Bones About It... It's Back! Farmington (Google Maps Location) September 10, 2009 The waffling is over. I'm giving this place its own pedestal to stand on as a separate museum visit. Sure, the collection is pretty much a scaled down version of a previously visited museum, but I think it's important to … [Read more...]
