West Hartford History: Where Was This Photo Taken?

If you think you know the answer or have a special memory related to the photo, respond in the "Leave a comment" box below this article. We'll run the answer next Monday, along with a new historical photo. The image has been provided by the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society.

Last week we asked "What Occupied This Building?" and only one person ventured a guess. Edward Porter said that he thought it was the Hill-Stead Museum.

This is actually a photograph of the Wadsworth Inn. The official answer from the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society is: "The Wadsworth Inn was located in this building. This popular tavern was owned by Elisha Wadsworth and his son Sidney. It was located at the corner of Prospect Hill and Albany Roads."
