Jan Beatty, a Wadsworth Atheneum docent, will be our guide to the Austin House. It is a National Historic Landmark and was the Hartford residence of the legendary and innovative A. Everett “Chick” Austin, Jr., the Atheneum’s director from 1927 to 1944. A true visionary, Austin, along with his wife, Helen Goodwin, designed their Neo-Classical Revival house after the Italian 1596 Villa Ferretti at Dolo.

Set on nearly two acres, the two-story, 3,000-square-foot house is set apart by its long and narrow design, only one room deep.
