The Levi Lincoln Felt House, on Jefferson Street in Hartford, was built in 1879 and is transitional in architectural style between the Gothic Revival and Queen Anne. The chimney has a High Victorian Gothic element in its polychromatic terra-cotta tiles. Felt was born in New York City in 1849 and later settled in Hartford, working after 1864 for the Travelers Insurance Company and becoming its cashier/comptroller. Felt was also interested in his family’s genealogy, conceiving and doing preliminary work for The Felt Genealogy (1893) and joining the Connecticut Historical Society.
