CT National Historic Landmark Connecticut Hall Old Campus, New Haven This building is so old and so special and so important, it doesn’t have a real street address. No matter where I look, it’s address is always simply “Old Campus.” Such is the power of Yale. (If curious, it is in the cluster of Yale buildings … [Read more...]
177. ArtPlace at Yale Physician’s Building
You Need Guts to Go Here… Um, No You Don’t New Haven (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 No, this isn’t a museum. Not even close. But since I recently opened up my CTMQ definitions to include non-commercial galleries, I’ve been able to check out some interesting and different types of what I still loosely … [Read more...]
171. Urban Museum of Modern Architecture (6 of 7)
When a No-Longer Non-Museum Museum is Still a Museum To Me Seven Buildings, New Haven Various Dates Dec 2010 Update: I received a comment on an old museum page about the modernist Knights of Columbus Museum from a woman representing the New Haven Preservation Trust who says that a survey is being done in 2010 … [Read more...]
167. Fairfield County Sports Hall of Fame
I Went Here Just to Make Fun of Bruce Jenner Stamford (Google Maps location) May 8, 2010 Note: The title and content of this page were all written well before Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn so I wasn't making fun of her for any of the gender stuff.

Do Not to Passover This Place (Pt. 1) West Hartford (Google Maps location) March 3, 2010 2019 Update: The museum dropped Sherman's name and is now just the Museum of Jewish Civilization.

155. The Joseloff Gallery
Hung Juried West Hartford (Google Maps Location) March 3, 2010 I don’t know how many college and private boarding/prep school art galleries there are in the state, but since I started including them, I can’t stop now.

NHL: Samuel Wadsworth Russell House

NHL: Richard Alsop IV House
Richard Alsop IV House National Historic Landmark 301 High St., Middletown (House is owned by Wesleyan and you can maybe check it out with a guide) Funny – I’ve been inside this NHL and had no idea.

126. Wilbur Cross Gallery (Gone)
No Need to Get Cross With Me Storrs/Mansfield (Google Maps Location) July 17, 2009 Please note that this was written in 2009 and that I am pretty sure this gallery no longer exists as it did back then. I spent four (and, ahem, a half, ahem) years and several tens of thousands of my father’s hard-earned money at … [Read more...]
138. Hartford Medical Society Historical Library
Make No Bones About It... It's Back! Farmington (Google Maps Location) September 10, 2009 The waffling is over. I'm giving this place its own pedestal to stand on as a separate museum visit.
