Farnam Guest House

Prospect Hill is the most exclusive and elegant neighborhood in New Haven, close to downtown and home to the Yale Divinity School, the School of Forestry, and Science Hill. Mark Twain said that Hillhouse Avenue was the most beautiful street in America and much of that stately beauty has been preserved. Henry's youngest son, Henry Walcott Farnam, became a Professor of Political Economics at Yale. Through his inspiration and foresight,Connecticut Hall, Yale's oldest building, still stands today.
