Prospect Avenue Historic District

National Register of Historic PlacesCameo Builders/FJC Constructionis privileged to provide exceptional craftsmanship in order to restoreAmerican architecture and preserve history in the Prospect Avenue Historic District of Hartford, namely

1234 Prospect Avenue.

This Federal style house was built in the 1820s by Elisha Wadsworth. The house originally faced Albany

Avenue but, in 1918, a decision was made to face Prospect Avenue at which time they added the

entrance canopies and trellises. The house is situated in an area of historically affluent individuals and

families, including our Connecticut Governors (also known as Governors Row). Interestingly

enough, here the family also operated an inn on the, then, Albany Turnpike until 1862. This home

served the traveling needs of those going to and from Hartford to Albany, New York.

While the house has endured tremendous weathering and damage through the years, it was Cameo

Builders/FJC Constructionthat came to the aid to save, and restore, the faade of this lovely Federalstyle home while invigorating her with the modern updates of living todays lifestyle. This not only

includes all mechanicals and accoutrements, but also the basic interior structures as framing and

sheetrock, and all of the landscaping and exterior land.

The exterior bricks of this estate is where the work began as the bricks were repointed. Great care was

taken to replace existing and missing building materials that the original house had, including such

things as copper and slate, in order to respect the architectural and historic nature of the home.

On the next few pages, we have outlined many of the details of 1234 Prospect Avenues restorations

and renovations.

If there are any questions or, if there are any modifications you would have an interest in making, please

dont hesitate to discuss those with us.

Thank you!
