Q: What is the Long Walk?

A: The long row of Victorian Gothic architecture that accommodates the main halls of Trinity College. It was built in the 1880s. William Burges, the primary architect, had envisioned a massive quadrangle, but only one side of it - the Long Walk - was built. The chapel, attached to one end of the Walk, went up in the early 1930s. (Source: "Structures and Styles: Guided Tours of Hartford Architecture," by Gregory E. Andrews and David F. Ransom.)

Q: For whom is Sisson Avenue named?

A: Albert Sisson, a wealthy tobacco trader who built his estate there in 1867, between Farmington Avenue and the current Sisson Avenue ramps of Interstate 84. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd acquired the estate in 1903 and used it as a home for wayward women. More buildings were added to the property over the succeeding years, and in 1973 the complex became housing for the elderly. It is now called Shepherd Park.
