The Wadsworth Stable


The Wadsworth Stable now stands in Lebanon, Connecticut, next to the Jonathan Trumbull house. But once it stood in the center of Hartford, by the Wadsworth Atheneum. Notice the similarity in design? The facade was re-imagined to look more like that famous mansion (now museum). But the interior! It still looks like it did when George Washington's horse, Nelson, was billeted here during the American Revolution.
