"One of Hartford's finest surviving examples of Victorian residential architecture — seven thousand square feet of brick, slate, copper, and original craftsmanship."

The Building

A Victorian estate,
reimagined

Built circa 1900 for the Borden family — of the same lineage as Gail Borden, inventor of condensed milk — this seven-thousand square foot brick mansion stands as one of Hartford's finest surviving examples of Victorian residential architecture. Its ornate turrets, original slate roof, copper gutters, sweeping entrance staircase, and rich natural woodwork reflect the craftsmanship of an era when Hartford was among the wealthiest cities in America.

After more than a century of life as a family estate and later as professional offices, The Wethersfield Residences is being carefully restored and converted into four fully furnished residences and a fully commercial ground floor. Every character-defining feature — the fireplaces, the tin ceilings, the hardwood floors with decorative inlays, the grand foyer — will be preserved and celebrated.

Original character
The grand Victorian staircase at the Wethersfield Residences — original carved mahogany newel post, ornate balustrade, tin ceiling, and marble entry floor, circa 1900
Original Character · Circa 1900

A staircase that has
never been replicated.

The grand entrance staircase is among Hartford's most extraordinary surviving examples of Victorian millwork. Hand-carved from solid mahogany, the ornate newel post, turned balustrade, and paneled wainscoting were crafted at a time when this building was the residence of one of the city's most prominent families.

Above, original pressed tin ceilings — intact after 125 years. Below, marble entry floors with inlaid border detail. Every element of this entrance will be preserved through the renovation and remain as the shared heart of the building.

Hand-carved mahogany newel post and full balustrade — original and intact
Original pressed tin ceiling — embossed pattern, fully preserved
Marble entry floor with decorative inlaid border — circa 1900
Full-height paneled wainscoting — original woodwork throughout
Bay window with original curtaining surround — natural light floods the foyer

"This is the kind of entrance that reminds you Hartford was once one of the wealthiest cities in America."
