DescriptionMap of part of Asylum Hill in Hartford, Connecticut, depicting what was probably Hopkins Avenue and the lots and houses on it. It is bounded to the east by Asylum Street (now Asylum Avenue), beyond which are Garden and Spring Streets, to the southwest by the "Sickenam" River (the Park River), and to the west by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad. There are 11 unnamed plots of land with dimensions, and three that have sketches of houses on them: two that have owners (O.E. Williams and J. Catlin) and one that is labeled, "Fancy Residence."
