|  |  Mark Twain HouseIn this glorious 19-room Victorian house in Hartford, Mark Twain produced some of his finest work. Charles Tiffany decorated the entire ground floor, one of only two Tiffany domestic interiors still intact and open to the public, making it a true gem.While living here Twain wrote Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, often called the archetypal American novel. He also raised a family during his 1874-1891 tenure and carried on an active social life (his neighbour was Uncle Tom's Cabin author Harriet Beecher Stowe).
A treat to visit, the building epitomises the highly ornamented Victorian style that marked Gilded-Age America. |
