A. Everett Austin Facade House

Hartford, CT

Museum director A. Everett 'Chick' Austin designed this 1930s home to resemble a grand European villa, but much of the impressive facade conceals a house only one room deep. The theatrical architecture fits its famously eccentric former owner; interior access is by scheduled museum programming.
