Resources
We are an educational and information-building group that celebrates and advocates for the preservation of the architectural heritage of the West End. We engage in a range of activities intended to promote an aesthetically pleasing and harmonious environment, and work with WECA’s Planning and Zoning Committee to maintain and enhance the quality of life in the neighborhood. We also partner with the Hartford Preservation Alliance and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.
