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: 64A group of volunteers from The Hartford came down today to help out with hanging drywall at 54 Huntington Street. They were members of Andy Daly's team, and Andy is a member of the NINA Board of Directors.
Today we bid farewell to our house at 1 Imlay Street -- it now belongs to Hartford's newest homeowners. This was a great project, and we are very proud of how it turned out, especially because we were able to take it almost all the way back to how it would have looked in 1875. We hope the new homeowners will have as much fun living here as we had rehabbing it!
Inside NINA's offices, which are on the north side of Veeder Place, the autumn sun still found a way to brighten our day.
A dreary fall evening. A warm, inviting new home in Asylum Hill.
In case you've ever wondered whether any single person could have an oddball effect on anything, here's the proof of it!
Way back when, when we were working with the architects to design the restoration of 1 Imlay Street, a disagreement over how high the windows on the third floor should be. One side argued for very tall, while the other side lobbied for much, much shorter. A compromise was agreed to: NINA's program, an average person of average height, would be able to look out the window without having to bend down. Thus, a new unit of measurement was born! Whatever you want to call it, the windows at 1 Imlay are now one unit of it.
What makes this truly an oddball effect is that the program manager is notorious for never standing up straight ...

We were lucky enough at tonight's AHNA meeting to have a view of the quilts on display at AHCC.
Not sure why, but we hardly ever show the north and west sides of 1 Imlay -- so here they are!
