The West End, located 1.5 miles from the
center of Hartford, is home to a diverse population, fine owned
and rental homes, a retail business center, several institutions,
and one of the finest parks in the City. Among its special
places are the Governor's Mansion, Hartford Seminary recognized
nationally for both its program and architecture, the University
of Connecticut Law School, Hartford College for Women now associated
with the University of Hartford, and the Connecticut Historical
Society. Next door are the Mark Twain House and the headquarters
of several major insurance companies. Clemens Place, located
on Farmington Avenue, is the largest historic apartment renovation
ever undertaken in New England.
