A series of entries designed to capture the ongoing adventures of NINA! See how we came to be where we are today, and follow along as we enter the new century of social media!
Page: 4Mike Stockman and Bob Rosenberg have been working on framing a new door for the third floor, while Ramon Martinez has been installing more windows. Ramon gave us our first look at the new stain glass window in place.
It was a beautiful day, and so I stopped by 52 and 54 Huntington Street on my way back to the office to take some photos of their front yard gardens. These make a great addition to the street and complement the garden up at 102 Huntington.
The kitchen taking shape, along with the first-floor half bath. More windows in. Spindles painted by Aetna volunteers in the end of July.
They have said they are going to rebuild. I’ll assume the foundation was filled for safety reasons.
New walls, new framing, new lots of things – plus I really like the new wood glow coming from the second floor. Did I mention the roof on the front porch is finished?
The pile in back was teh ramp that the small front loader used to escape.
The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center hosted an unveiling ceremony for the newest marker on the National Votes for Women Trail on Forest Street today. The marker, which notes the location of the Isabella Beecher Hooker House (it’s officially the John and Isabella Beecher Hooker House, but John can sit this one out), commemorates the work Isabella did to advance the cause of women’s rights in America.
The house’s address is actually 140 Hawthorn Street, but it’s best seen from Forest Street. The house was also the inspiration for NINA’s townhomes on Hawthorn.
The marker will be installed later this year. There are seven stops on the trail in Hartford.
