Mark Twain House Symbol of 19th Century Respectability
Hartford AP reports the Mark Twain House atop a hill in Hartford Connecticut as a Gothic red brick mansion with seven bedrooms and seven baths. The 40 000 dollar home financed by Olivia Clemens was where Twain wrote major works and his daughter Susy died prompting Olivia to avoid returning. The house now a public site drew 54 000 visitors last year and remains a landmark amid a transformed neighborhood.
