Nathaniel Shipman was a lawyer, Federal judge, and a founding partner of the law firm of Shipman & Goodwin, which is still prominent today. His house, on Charter Oak Place in Hartford, was built in 1860 in the Italianate style. Charter Oak Place was a fashionable neighborhood when Shipman moved there, and today has many surviving houses built between 1858 and 1875, including two Italianate double houses, the Kingsbury-Gatling House, the Robinson-Smith House and the Charles Northam House.
Nathaniel Shipman House (1860)
I’ve lived in this house for the past 25 years. It’s a wonderful home on a fantastic street. Thank you for your postings.
The Shipman’s moved from this house to Asylum Ave. in 1912 and the home became a rooming house, home for wayward girls, a drug rehab center, until it was finally saved (as the rest of the street) in 1980.
