URR Trail: Torrington (3)
Uriel Tuttle House 3925 Torringford Street I wish I had more to tell you regarding the Tuttle houses in the Torringford section of Torrington along Torringford Road.

NHL: Connecticut Hall
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.

NHL: New Haven Green Historic District
CT National Historic Landmark New Haven Green Historic District Bounded by Chapel, College, Elm, and Church Streets, New Haven This write-up has plagued me for a little while.
