DescriptionMap of the properties of J.J. and F. Goodwin in Hartford, Connecticut, at the intersection of Asylum Avenue and Woodland Street, with the Park River to the north. The buildings are outlined but not labeled, as the emphasis of the map is on the landscape, with little drawings of the trees and shrubs, labeled with their scientific names. Some of them are colored varying shades of green, but most of them are unfinished.
