What in the Dickens Could We Have Been Thinking About?
I believe it was Charles Dickens, not Mark Twain, who said Hillhouse Avenue was the most beautiful street in America.
Imagine two long blocks of magnificent private homes designed by America's most distinguished architects, the white Hillhouse mansion on Sachem Street at its pinnacle, graced with a canopy of stately elm trees - this was the Hillhouse Avenue that so struck Dickens when he visited the United States.
- Nancy V. Ahern
The editor replies: Ms. Ahern is of course correct. So blinded were we by the beauty of Hillhouse Avenue that we experienced momentary brain-lock. But Mark Twain would have liked it just fine, too.
