SUMMARY:Junior League of Hartford Designer Show House

Come tour 820 Prospect Avenue\, a 1902 Tudor estate in Hartford’s historic West End\, after dozens of designers from across the region have put their signature styles into each room. \nPre-sale tickets $35 through May 2nd\, $50 as of May 3rd.  Click for tickets. \nHOURS: Friday\, May 2nd is our opening night party!
