Hickory Lane is a planned community with gorgeous colonial homes in West Hartford, Connecticut. Responsible for this project is architect Walter Crabtree Jr. who designed lovely wood homes with all the modern amenities of the 1940. The homes are separated through well manicured lawns.
Homes in planned communities are too often stereotyped, as if they had all rolled off one assembly line. But not Hickory Lane. There, tho each has undeniable Colonial ancestry, each, too, has distinct personality. Compare the George Highberg home below with the others. Note how the transition from brick to shingles is neatly carried out with corner pilasters
