Charles Dickens may or may not have called Hillhouse Avenue “the most beautiful street in America,” but it IS an awfully pretty place, especially in the spring, when the President’s House is decked out for commencement and reunions.
Hillhouse Avenue is a street in New Haven, Connecticut, famous for its many nineteenth century mansions, including the president's house at Yale University. Both Charles Dickensand Mark Twain have described it as "the most beautiful street in America."[2] Much of the avenue is included in the Hillhouse Avenue Historic District, which extends to include houses on adjacent streets.[3]
