Hart's Corner Historic District
The Hart's Corner Historic District encompasses a microcosm of 19th-century agricultural history in southeastern Burlington, Connecticut. Set at the corner of Stafford and Monce Roads are three farmsteads, dating in age from the 1790s to 1874, all of which are well-preserved specimens of their style. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history Land in the Hart's Corner area was first allocated in the 18th-century colonial period to the Reverend Samuel Newell (father to same-named American missionary). Newell's daughters inherited that land, and sold it in the 1790s to Israel Barnes. Barnes built the oldest house at the corner before 1795, when he sold it to David Norton. Norton divided his land, selling the half across Stafford Street to his son Franklin, who built the Greek Revival house at 102 Stafford Street around 1850. Sylvester Hart married David Norton's daughter, and acquired the original farmstead in 1852. ...

Historic Districts On The National Register Of Historic Places In Connecticut
History is the systematic study of the past, focusing primarily on the human past. As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to develop a ...

Italianate Architecture In Connecticut
The Italianate style was a distinct 19th-century phase in the history of Classical architecture. Like Palladianism and Neoclassicism, the Italianate style combined its inspiration from the models and architectural vocabulary of 16th-century Italian Renaissance architecture with picturesque aesthetics. The resulting style of architecture was essentially of its own time. "The backward look transforms its object," Siegfried Giedion wrote of historicist architectural styles; "every spectator at every period—at every moment, indeed—inevitably transforms the past according to his own nature." The Italianate style was first developed in Britain in about 1802 by John Nash, with the construction of Cronkhill in Shropshire. This small country house is generally accepted to be the first Italianate villa in England, from which is derived the Italianate architecture of the late Regency and early Victorian eras. The Italianate style was further developed and popularised by the architec ...
