About this postcard
The card pictures the gray, mansard-roofed house with dormer windows and shuttered facade that the caption calls Harriet Beecher Stowe's former residence in Hartford, Connecticut, set among bare trees with a smaller wing at the left. Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, lived in Hartford's Nook Farm neighborhood from 1873 until her death in 1896, in a community that also drew her neighbor Mark Twain. The house became a literary landmark and is now preserved as the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center.
