Greetings to my friends and neighbors in Asylum Hill!
 


  

2021!

By State Rep. Matt Ritter

2021 is here and we are ready for a new year and a new legislative session. I am very proud that my colleagues in the House of Representatives have chosen me to be Speaker of the House after four years as House Majority Leader.

Exploring Asylum Hill - 
The Year in Review


By Bernie Michel 
 

In looking back at the year that everyone seems to disparage, let's try to identify a few of the good things that happened, if only to give one another some encouragement for the year ahead.

Volunteer of the Month - Josie Reilly

 
For those of you who have been to the AHNA website most anytime in the past few years you have no doubt noticed that the basic design hasn't changed in a lot of years, and also that it's not the most modern or user friendly. It's not that we are ignoring it; it's just that we really haven't had the band width or skills to fix it.




Mansions






















The Mansions on Asylum Avenue - Part 3

When we left off last month we noted that there are fewer than 100 single family, owner-occupied brick Victorian homes remaining in Asylum Hill. That is less than a quarter of the more than 400 such homes that are shown on the Sanborn map from 1920.
